Blaqbonez wrote:<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve only added 2 songs on my rotation this year, and it\u2019s been 3 months, most releases have been ass, I don\u2019t even bother to play the top 100 again, cos that

Blaqbonez argued that apart from the top 4 \u2013 Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy and Olamide, no other artiste can be said to have a better catalogue.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The rapper said;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAsides the big 3 or 4 or whatever number u guys currently recognize, NOBODY, I repeat NOBODY has a better catalogue than me, but if believe the foolishness that you just typed I can\u2019t help you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His claim didn\u2019t sit down well with his colleague, Joeboy, who quoted his tweet with a meme of late pop star Michael Jackson telling an armed man to \u201ccalm down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Feeling insulted by the post, Blaqbonez reposted an old tweet of Burna Boy shading Reekado Banks, insinuating that he is not \u201ca worthy challenger\u201d for
