Mark Zuckerberg on his visit to Nigeria stormed the production set of recently 'retired' Nigerian rapper, Illbliss in Lagos.
Illbliss and Mark Zuckerberg
'That Igbo Boy' popularly known as Illbliss was shooting a video for an undisclosed single, at the Afrinolly studios in Lagos, when he received a pleasant surprise of the invasion of the 6th richest man in the world, Mark Zuckerberg who is the owner of Facebook and Instagram.
The 31-year old American entrepreneur was on a tour of the facility when he crashed the video set of Illbliss. The production was paused as Illbliss and Mark engaged in a 10 minute conversation about Nigerian music, and other matters.
Zuckerberg mentioned the moment in an earlier post on Facebook:
“Visited Nollywood, crashed a hip hop music video, and met some of Nigeria's biggest stars,” he wrote.
Illbliss is working on a new album which will be released this month. A tentative unofficial title of the project has filtered to the media as “Illygatti”. The video interrupted by Zuckerberg is off the album.
The rapper recently sparked fears of a retirement, when he let loose some cryptic message on Instagram. “Thank you all for being with me through this amazing musical journey...Goodbye...to the game...I'm gone...Next Chapter", he wrote.
Illbliss is the owner of talent management outfit, The Goretti Company, which is responsible for launching the careers of Phyno and Chidinma.
