    Why I don’t love music – Odumodublvck 

    Rapper Odumodublvck has revealed that he doesn’t love music in a recent interview.

    He described music as a “reliable friend” but emphasised that his feelings towards music are not rooted in love.

    “I don’t love music. But music and I are friends. I like you (music) and one thing I know about is that you are a stand-up guy. When you say you are going to do this you are going to do it because You meet me at the point of my contact”, he said.

    Odumodublvck explained that music only reciprocates the effort he puts into his craft.

    He said: “Whatever works you put in there is what music go give you, music no dey cheat person. But to say I now love music, NO NO NO NO. Because music on its own has not gone out of its way to do anything for me.

    “It was the work that I put in that made it reciprocate, and I don’t have any problems with that. So music should not have any problem with me telling her that I don’t love her.”

    Davido praised Chike, comparing him to American R&B sensation Bryson Tiller.

    Davido’s upcoming album promises to be a celebration of African music, with the singer aiming to create “real African records.”

    “I will be releasing my new album next year. I’m trying to make real African records. I have another lead single coming out soon titled ‘Funds.’ It features the current biggest rapper in Nigeria, Odumodublvck, and Chike. Chike is the Bryson Tiller of Nigeria,” he said.

    Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck has addressed the ongoing feud between Wizkid and Davido, urging fans not to drag him into their conflict.

    In a statement, Odumodublvck expressed gratitude to both artists, noting their significant impact on his career. 

    He shared a personal story about how Wizkid had posted his song “Declan Rice” while he was recovering in the hospital, a gesture that profoundly changed his life and that of his family.

    The rapper also acknowledged the many favors and support he has received from Davido, thanking the DMW executive for his kindness to both him and his family.

    Odumodublvck emphasized that he would never betray the trust or support of either artist and called on fans to stop trying to pit him against them.

    “Abeg, make una leave me. I was on my sickbed in Abuja, I almost lost my life. Only to wake up and see that Wizkid posted Declan Rice. It was the beginning of something new for me and my family. I cannot put into words how I felt. I have never been the one to bite the hand that feeds me, and I will never be that person. Never. #Morayo

    “Moving on to those that are trying to put me against David, I have lost count of how many favors and how many things he has done for not just me but for my entire family and my gang. And he is still doing more than I can even use my mouth to explain. You people will not succeed”, he said on X.

    You lose when you hate on Wizkid – Odumodublvck

    Rapper Odumodublvck has cautioned artists against criticising or hating Grammy-winning singer Wizkid.

    In a Toronto interview with content creator Elsie, Odumodublvck called hating Wizkid a “self-sabotage.”

    He shared his perspective on collaborations, stating that he wouldn’t be offended if Wizkid didn’t promote their joint work on social media.

    He emphasised that receiving a verse from Wizkid is the primary benefit, rendering promotion unnecessary.

    He said: “There some artists that when you release music with them, they look as if they are doing you a favour.

    “I’ve never released music and asked the artist that I featured to post it. I don’t care if you promote it. You’ve done the most important thing by giving me a verse,” he said.

    “If Wizkid gives me a verse and my album comes and he doesn’t post about it, I will not be angry. If you start hating on Wizkid Machala, you lose.”
