October 18, (THEWILL) – Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck, a Nigerian rapper, singer and songwriter, known for his stage performances and genre-blend, says he declined his team’s offer to link up with David Adeleke, aka Davido, back in 2019.
Odumodublvck is a member of the hip-hop collective known as Anti World Gangstars.
The rapper said he turned down the offer because Davido does not align with his vision, instead he squared with Teezee, BOJ, and Sholzy because they are the pipeline to the United Kingdom market.
The rapper said he was drawn to UK grime artists, whose style complemented his vision.
“In 2019, someone said we should go to Lagos and meet Davido. But I was like, ‘What will Davido do for me?’ Even if Davido takes me to America and puts me on stage and I am rapping my stuff, his fans will not understand because they are Afrobeats fans,” he said.
“But these guys: Teezee, BOJ, and Sholz, are the pipeline to the UK market. And those are the closest guys I sound like internationally. So why don’t I follow that route to get to wherever I want to get to?
“I was like, I do not need Davido for anything now. Let me follow people who align with my vision. And that was how we just came together and we are here now. Number one in the country against all odds.”
