Rapper Odumodublvck has addressed a prolonged personal crisis, revealing that someone close to him has endured over a year of online abuse, threats and violations allegations.

In a post on X, he stated that the concerns were ignored by powerful figures in the music industry.

He wrote: “The past few weeks have been heavy. My friends and I have been painted in terrible lights, and a deeply personal and painful situation has been twisted into something it is not.

“For over a year, someone close to me has been subjected to ongoing online abuse, threats, and personal violations, and at different points, efforts were made to amplify that abuse. Watching that play out publicly has been difficult, especially as false narratives and targeted attacks continued”.

The “Declan Rice” hitmaker described the situation as deeply painful and personal, rejecting attempts to frame it as a “rap beef” or career-boosting publicity stunt.

He also condemned the exploitation of personal trauma for entertainment, calling it “insensitive” and “deeply disrespectful.”

“This issue has now been twisted to look like a “rap beef,” a move to service someone’s career. I said it last year, even when tensions were low, that this is not rap beef. It’s a personal matter that has been exploited for clout. Reducing a person’s hurt to entertainment is not only insensitive but deeply disrespectful, he alleged.

The artist, known for his unfiltered commentary, said he had privately appealed to label executives, industry leaders, and influential figures to intervene, but received no meaningful support.

He said: “Throughout this ordeal, I tried to resolve things the right way. I reached out privately to people with the power and influence to intervene, including label heads, executives, and industry leaders. I believed they would do what was right. But no one helped. Many chose to protect their interests, their artists, and their investments instead of standing up for the truth”.

Odumodublvck emphasised that his eventual public response was not motivated by ego or rivalry, but by a need to protect the individual after others failed to act.

He said: “When it became clear that no one would protect her, I felt compelled to step in. These actions were not driven by ego or pride, but by anger, frustration, and the need to defend someone I care about who had been tormented for far too long while everyone looked away”.

The rapper, whose real name is Tochukwu Ojogwu, has a history of speaking out on social and industry issues.

He reiterated his commitment to honesty, even at the cost of relationships with former allies

Odumodublvck, who kept the name of the individual at the center of the abuse or specified the alleged perpetrators undisclosed, has now declared the matter closed, stating his focus is now on “peace, closure, and moving forward”.

“I have always stood for honesty and accountability. I’ve called out those I once respected because when it mattered most, they chose silence. That is not leadership. That is not character.

“At the end of the day, you can decide if your hate for me outweighs your sense of justice.The matter has been addressed, and I have chosen not to revisit it. My focus now is on peace, closure, and moving forward,” he stated. 

Rapper Odumodublvck has spoken on the country’s political system and the struggles of Black people in America.

In an interview with BET,  Odumodublvck criticised the tendency of Nigerians to blame the President for every national problem, ignoring the roles of local government and state officials.

“You have a local government, you have your councillor, you have your senator, the guys that are directly in charge of you, but when anything happens, they say ‘ah, Tinubu’. You’re a small fish to the president. The guy that is supposed to take care of you is the one opposite you. But that’s what you get when you use that kind of policy to govern a people – when everybody’s sovereignty is in the hands of one man,” he said.

On politics, Odumodublvck stated that concentrating power in one person creates a system vulnerable to manipulation and corruption.

“If he’s a good man, they can take away your liberty by threatening him. What if he’s a man who waited 20 years for a child, becomes a governor, and they tell him, ‘If you don’t do this corruption, we’ll harm your daughter’? Even if he wants to help the people, he doesn’t have a choice,” he said.

He emphasised that democracy is weakened when sovereignty is in the hands of one man, and that this system can lead to problems for citizens.

“If the sovereignty is in the hand of one man, there’s a problem. I’ve said what I need to say,” he added.

On the struggles of Black people in America, the rapper urged the community to move beyond the victim mentality and take advantage of new opportunities.

He acknowledged the suffering of Black people in America but pointed out that it’s time to forgive and focus on progress.

Odumodublvck also compared the struggles of Black people in America to those in Africa, stating that the latter have faced more severe hardships, including suffering at the hands of their own people.

“We cannot deny that America is now a better place for Black people. Black people have suffered in America, yes, but it’s time to step away from the victim mentality. We now have Black-owned businesses, a former Black president, people doing well in sports – now is the time to fly”, he added.

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.

“The name I had first was T Flows – whack name. There are probably like a hundred thousand T Flows in the world, but there’s only one Odumodublvck,” he stated.

Odumodublvck added that his choice to embrace the name was deliberate, despite how others reacted.

“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.

Speaking during a recent episode of the Culli Podcast, Odumodublvck said Skepta’s influence shaped his music, fashion, and overall outlook as an artist.

“I’m sure he doesn’t even believe it when I say that if not for Skepta, I would not be here. I’m telling you brother, if not for Skepta I would not be here,” he said.

Recalling his early struggles, the rapper explained how Skepta inspired him to embrace simplicity and confidence even when he lacked money to afford flashy clothes or accessories.

“When we were coming up, we didn’t have money to buy clothes. But because I was a follower of Skepta, I realised that if you can get a tracksuit pant, a white T-shirt, and nice sneakers, you can still look cool and mash up the show-even without chains. This is entertainment, you have to look the part,” he said.

Odumodublvck also credited Skepta for influencing his sound and mindset toward collaboration and creativity.

“Skepta say, ‘If you know the hack, you tell your friend. Don’t hide it. The sky is big enough for everybody.’ Na Skepta teach us say you can make music that fits the radio, the stage, and still resonate with the streets at the same time,” he added.

He concluded by describing Skepta as a true pioneer, saying his melodies and approach to modern rap helped him understand that hip-hop doesn’t always have to sound violent.

“Skepta is the OG, bro. It’s more than the music too.”

Speaking during a recent episode of the Culli Podcast, the rapper said his girlfriend means everything to him and plays a crucial role in his life decisions.

He said, “My girlfriend is my everything. You know when the Bible says if you find a good woman, you’ve found a good thing. She’s my everything oh. Every single thing. She’s literally my life, bro. If you tell me something now that I need to make a decision, I’ll go and meet her first. That’s how much I trust what she’s saying.”

Odumodublvck went on to share how much he values her advice and friendship despite occasional disagreements.

“I might not lean into everything she’s saying -we can have disagreements which is normal, you get. There are some things I’ll say, she’ll be like, ‘Ah no oh Odi, I don’t support this one oh,’ but I’ll still go ahead with it because that’s what I feel. Most times it works for me, sometimes it might not, and I’ll come back and say, ‘Omo, that thing that you told me,’ and she’ll be like, ‘Shebi I told you,’” he said.

“She’s my friend mehn, even apart from say we love each other, she’s my person.”

The rapper further described her as a blessing from God, saying, “God blessed me with that one. He gave me that one as a gift -like, ‘Despite everything in this world, if you don’t have anything, take this one.’”

He added that he met her before fame and wealth came into his life.

“I was lucky I met her before I had money. She’s the last girl that I met before I had money,” he said.
