    Captioning the video, Bambam wrote: “Every two minutes, a woman somewhere loses her life to cervical cancer. Here at home in Nigeria, too many of those stories are our mothers, sisters, aunties, friends.

    But awareness, early screening and protection can save lives.

    “As parents raising two beautiful girls, this is personal. We want a future where our daughters can grow up healthy, empowered, and free from preventable illness.

    “This conversation isn’t just for hospitals or campaigns. It starts in our homes, with love, with courage, with information. Let’s talk and take action. Let’s protect each other. Awareness saves lives”.

    ‘Why I chose Odumodublvck as stage name’

    Rapper Tochukwu Ojogwu popularly known as Odumodublvck has revealed how his stage name originated.

    In a recent interview with BET Network, the rapper explained that the name came from a childhood moment that unexpectedly stuck.

    “Odumodu means masquerade. So I tried to scare someone and he called me that name and I was like, ‘no don’t call me that,’” he recalled. “You know it’s that name you don’t want to be called.”

    The name eventually caught on after an encounter involving his mother. “One day my mom came to visit me in school and they were like, ‘yo, Odumodu’s mom is around,’ and she’s like, ‘who’s that?’ And I’m like, ‘that’s what it is,’ then I started making music,” he said.

    Before adopting the name, the rapper went by another moniker, which he now dismisses as forgettable.

    “If I didn’t bear that name Odumodublvck till the end of the world, there would never have been another Odumodublvck. When I told my friends that my name’s going to be Odumodu Blvck they started laughing. I said, ‘yes, that’s the point. That’s the name there,’” he said.

  • Blaqbonez denies alleged harassment, seeks legal action

    Blaqbonez denies alleged harassment, seeks legal action

    Rapper Blaqbonez has spoken out against false allegations circulating online, claiming they are part of a sustained harassment and intimidation campaign by certain individuals in the music industry.

    An unidentified woman has accused Blaqbonez of harassment, cyberstalking, and emotional abuse, alleging that he subjected her to months of intimidation and humiliation after she declined his romantic advances.

    According to a statement by her lawyer, Taiwo Akinsulie, the alleged harassment included blackmail, bullying, and invasion of privacy.

    The woman further alleged that Blaqbonez unlawfully obtained and circulated private indecent videos of her without her consent.

    In response, Blaqbonez denied the allegations, stating they stem from a past personal relationship that ended respectfully and has been twisted to fit a broader professional rivalry.

    He wrote: “Over the past few days, several false and deeply distressing allegations have been circulated online about me. These claims are not only untrue, they are part of a sustained pattern of harassment and intimidation that I have endured for months from certain individuals within the music industry”.

    Blaqbonez revealed that he had endured bullying, physical assaults, and online attacks for nearly a year, choosing to remain silent in the hope that the truth would speak for itself.

    “For nearly a year, I have stayed silent and endured repeated bullying, physical assaults, and online attacks, believing that the truth would speak for itself. There comes a point when silence allows falsehoods to spread unchecked. So I am speaking now: I have done nothing wrong. At the heart of these stories lies a personal relationship from my past, one that ended respectfully and without conflict.

    “That private chapter has now become entangled with professional rivalries in the music industry. What began as a personal matter between two adults has been pulled into a broader feud, reshaped and used as ammunition in a campaign to discredit me publicly”.

    However, with the allegations gaining traction, he felt compelled to address them.

    He added: “The accusations being pushed are deliberate fabrications designed to damage my name, my work, and everything I’ve built. They have caused pain to my family, my team, and those who support me. It’s disheartening to see people weaponise falsehoods for attention and revenge”.

    The rapper has assured his fans that he is cooperating with authorities to establish the truth and is taking legal action to protect himself against harassment and defamation.

    “I’m cooperating fully with the authorities to ensure that the truth is established once and for all. I have nothing to hide, and I welcome transparency. I’m also taking steps through my legal team to protect myself against the harassment and defamation I’ve endured over the past year”, he added.

    Blaqbonez emphasised commitment to honesty and self-belief, values that he represents in his art.

    Blaqbonez concluded his statement by thanking his supporters and reiterating his focus on clearing his name and continuing with his music.

    He warned against the dangers of false accusations and bullying, emphasising that they can have real-life consequences.

    He concluded: “I’ve worked hard to represent honesty and self-belief in my art. That will not change. The truth will come out, and when it does, I hope this moment reminds everyone that false accusations destroy real lives, and that bullying, whether physical, digital, or psychological, must never be tolerated.

    “I won’t allow personal grudges or online hostility to define who I am or distract me from my purpose. The truth is not afraid of light, and that’s where I stand.
    Thank you to everyone who’s reached out in support. My focus remains on my music, my peace, and clearing my name”.
