Blaqbonez Collaborates with Asake on Hit 'Chanel

Blaqbonez revealed the process behind his collaboration with Asake on the song 'Chanel', which he recorded in Lagos in February 2026. Initially, he did not view the song as special until an outing in London in April changed his perspective.

During a gathering at Doña, an underground bar in Dalston, he played 'Chanel' for about 20 attendees, who encouraged him to replay it multiple times. This positive feedback prompted him to share a video of himself enjoying the song online, which gained significant traction and clarified its potential.

Blaqbonez sent the song to Asake via Instagram, having previously discussed a collaboration. They met in Nigeria to record the track and later traveled to London for its music video. 'Chanel' achieved No. 1 on the Apple Music Nigeria Top Songs Chart and has over 25.7 million streams on Spotify.
