• Odumodublvck has opened up on receiving help from two top giants in the music industry.
• The rapper disclosed the part both Davido and Wizkid played in helping him rise to fame.
• Odumodublvck also addressed claims that he felt slighted for not being a part of Wizkid’s latest album, despite bragging about it.

Nigerian rapper and singer Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck has opened up on gaining recognition in the industry.

In a recent interview on the Afrobeats Podcast, Odumodublvck revealed the contributions of afrobeats megastars Davido and Wizkid in his rise.

The rapper revealed that in the early days of his mainstream rise, Wizkid was the first big star to share his music. The rapper said:

“In Nigeria, Wizkid was the first major artiste to post my music. He posted picanto…Then after I dropped ‘Declan Rice’, he posted the song and there’s also a video of him vibing to the song.”

Wizkid’s post would drive mass attention to Odumodublvck’s music and the rapper quickly rose from relative obscurity to stardom as ‘Declan Rice’ named after the England and Arsenal football star became an instant hit.

On the role Davido played in the early days of his career, Odumodublvck said the five-time Grammy nominee chose to help him when he didn’t have to. In his words:

“David (Davido) is someone who helped me when he didn’t need to. So there’s no way I will say anything bad about him even if I have the chance to.”

In the interview, the rapper addressed speculations that he was unhappy not to have been featured on Wizkid’s last album ‘Morayo’.

Odumodublvck said it would be ridiculous to be angry that he didn’t make another artiste’s album, especially a star like Wizkid who has contributed to his success.

Since gaining mainstream success in 2023, Odumodublvck has risen to the summit of the Nigerian music industry, becoming one of the most prolific hitmakers.

His album ‘EZIOKWU’ enjoyed massively commercial success which helped it to become one of the most successful Nigerian hip hop albums of the digital era.
The rapper is set to release a new album in 2025 titled ‘Industry Machine’.
