‘We’ll Own Your Land Forever’: Illbliss Sparks Outrage Over Igbo–Lagos Tweet

Rapper Illbliss is facing backlash after defending Igbo investments in Lagos and making inflammatory remarks online. He praised Igbo contributions to commerce and real estate on X, writing: “The Igbos have contributed immensely to the Lagos economy…If you have a problem with it, hug a frigging transformer!” When another user challenged him, Illbliss allegedly fired back, “We own your lands fool…You will pay rent forever in this city, bloody scavenger.” His comment drew criticism for inflaming ethnic tensions. The controversy deepened when an old podcast clip resurfaced, exposing his past criticism of clannish behaviour in the South-East. Critics accuse him of double standards.
