Odumodublvck gave reasons why he can’t relocate to Lagos
Tochukwu Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck, a popular Nigerian rapper, has stated that, despite being Nigeria’s entertainment capital, he finds it difficult to envision moving to Lagos.
This was revealed by Odumodublvck during an appearance on Quincy Jonze’s Echoo Room program.
His primary reason for making this decision is the city’s perceived lack of safety and the potential negative impact on his mental health.
Instead, he expresses a preference for living in Abuja, a city known for its relaxed and serene environment, where he enjoys an impressive amount of recognition.
In his own words; “Let’s say a fish pond has 10 fishes in Lagos and there are a hundred fishermen; in Abuja, there are 10 fishes and there are five fishermen, if you are a fisherman, where would you go and cast your nets?
With the help of the internet, you can connect anybody. Now I’m in Lagos here na, I’m in Echoo Room na. I came from Abuja, I can go back tomorrow. It’s just funds.
I’ll come here but to stay here and dabble in that pond, is not safe. It’s not safe for my brand. It’s not safe for my mental space. It’s not safe for my bank accounts. Because, if Wizkid dey do show, before him call me, he go first call Joeboy, Blaqbonez, Fireboy, Oxlade, Buju, Omah Lay. I can keep going on and on, before they get to Odumodu.
But where we are in Abuja, if Skepta should come, if they don call three artists, dem no call me then dem never call any artist.”
