    Odumodublvck said, “You start rapping and you try to sound like Odumodu. They will say, hey, brother, hey, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Yeah. But make the good devil wells white with Larry Gaga, I deliver this A1 verse. You know, A1. So many other verses. We’ve done it in English. We’ve done it in vernacular. We’ve done it in everything, but they want to talk now about it because they feel intimidated by which line has had more cultural impact than that line on the cast.

    “Which hip-hop song has had more cultural impact in the last 20 years? In the history of Nigerian hip-hop, no Nigerian song has had more impact in the world than Declan Rice. It is the biggest digital asset in Arsenal Football Club ever on Twitter, ever on Instagram. Declan Rice signing, check it, since the history of the club. What metrics are we using? What metrics? They should bring it out. As we speak now, when you say that the guy is not a rapper, fallacy; that’s ungrateful. I’m going to punish all of them”.

    Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu aka Odumodublvck, has shared the extraordinary reasons why he embarks on philanthropy.

    “I lost my dad in 2021, and since then I’ve literally been doing everything he had been doing. If you go through my hood, my dad was helping with school fees of 20 people; now I’m doing school fees for 30 people. People are even begging me, “Yo, save your money, save your money. You’re helping too many people.” I’m like, “No, I’m not going to listen to you guys. I’m going to go with my guys. We’re going to go to the top together.” When they say, “If you go with so many people, you’ll be slow.” No, I’ve defied those odds. I’m still with my guys and my momentum has not stopped.”
