Blaqbonez Says He’s Open to Open Marriage, Prioritizes Emotional Bond Over Sexual Exclusivity

Nigerian rapper Emeka Akumefule, popularly known as Blaqbonez, has opened up about his views on marriage, saying he would consider an open relationship, arguing that sexual exclusivity is not the key to a strong union.

Speaking on the In My Opinion podcast, Blaqbonez explained that sexual activity in marriage naturally decreases over time, and that the foundation of a lasting relationship is emotional and mental connection. He added that if one partner is unavailable due to work, travel, or other commitments, it might be acceptable for the other to seek intimacy elsewhere.

“Sometimes I wonder if I’m broken, I don’t trust anybody or anything. I don’t care, it’s open to her. Most married couples don’t keep having the same amount of sex they had at the beginning—it naturally reduces,” he said.

He further elaborated: “If someone is satisfying her sexually while I’m busy hustling or touring, that’s okay. Marriage is about more than sex. She gives me her time, effort, and everything I need—if she sneaks in a moment with someone else, I don’t mind.”

Blaqbonez emphasized that his emotional and mental connection with his spouse would remain unmatched. “Nobody is going to get her both sexually and mentally addicted to them. You probably can’t make her laugh the way I do,” he added.

The rapper’s remarks highlight his belief that trust, emotional intimacy, and shared commitment matter more than sexual exclusivity in a marriage.
