“I do not need Davido for anything” – Odumodublvck
Tochukwu Ojogwu, also known as Odumodublvck, a popular Nigerian rapper, has stunned Nigerians by revealing why he rejected down a chance to meet famous musician Davido in 2019.
He stated that Davido’s fanbase is primarily made up of Afrobeats enthusiasts, and he believes his music will not appeal to them.
In a recent CTRL Room interview, Odumodu stated that he had instead decided to focus on musicians who shared his vision.
The upcoming rapper emphasized the importance of Teezee, BOJ, and Sholzy, whose sounds and styles were similar to his own, in breaking into the UK market.
Odumodublvck made the decision to work with these musicians and create his profile in the UK music industry after seeing the possibilities for global exposure.
He said;
“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.
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 do not 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.”
