Popular Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck has said that aspiring rappers who try to copy his style are often discouraged online. He recently revealed that people only talk down on him and his style because they feel intimidated.
Speaking via his social media page, Odumodublvck shared that despite delivering several top-class verses over the years, many still choose to comment negatively when his music is the topic of discussion.
According to him, he cannot remember any other rap verse having more cultural impact than his lyrics on “Cast,” and the fact that he raps in different languages makes him stand out.
“If aspiring rappers try to sound like me, they often get discouraged by negative comments. But I made the ‘Good Devil Wells White’ with Larry G and I delivered an A1 verse.
So many other verses, we’ve done it in English, Vernacular, Patois, we’ve done it in every language. But they want to talk down on it because they feel intimidated. Which rap line, let them bring it out that has have more cultural impact than my line in ‘Cast.’ Which hip-hop song has had more impact in the last 20 years?
In the history of Nigerian hip-hop, no Nigerian song has had more impact in the world like ‘Declan Rice.’ It is the biggest digital asset on Arsenal football club ever on social media. Check it,” he said.

Odumodu further noted that saying he is not a rapper is a fallacy that proves Nigerians are ungrateful after all he has done for the industry.
He concluded by saying he fits the bill as one of the best rappers in the country, and anyone saying otherwise is clueless.
“What metrics are we using here? They should bring it out. But they said I’m not a rapper. That’s a fallacy. That’s ungrateful. And God will punish all of them,” he added.
