Odumodublvck Warns Nigerian Artists Against Hating Wizkid
Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck has issued a warning to his fellow musicians, cautioning them against holding any form of resentment toward Grammy-winning Afrobeats star, Wizkid. During an interview with content creator Elsie in Toronto, Canada, Odumodublvck discussed the potential consequences of “hating” Wizkid, emphasizing that doing so would lead to self-sabotage in their music careers.
Odumodublvck, who has gained popularity with his hit track Wotowoto Seasoning, made it clear that he believes collaborating with a star like Wizkid should be seen as an honor in itself. He expressed that artists should not expect anything beyond the feature, particularly in terms of social media promotion. He stated that receiving a verse from Wizkid or any major artist is already a huge achievement, and asking for further promotion is unnecessary.
The rapper shared his personal views on the matter, saying, “There are some artists who make it seem like they’re doing you a favor when they collaborate with you. But for me, I’ve never asked any artist to promote a song we did together. If you give me a verse, that’s enough for me.” Odumodublvck added that he wouldn’t be offended if Wizkid chose not to post about their collaboration on social media after it’s released.
Odumodublvck’s remarks reflect his respect for Wizkid, acknowledging the superstar’s influence in the music industry. He continued by stressing that it would be a mistake for any Nigerian artist to develop negative feelings toward Wizkid, who has become one of the most successful and recognized artists globally. “If Wizkid gives me a verse and doesn’t post about it, I will not be angry,” the rapper reiterated, underlining that expecting more from someone of Wizkid’s stature could lead to disappointment.
His comments are a reflection of the mindset he believes other artists should adopt—appreciating the collaboration itself without demanding more. He implied that focusing on personal bitterness or expectations beyond the feature could damage an artist’s career. “If you start hating on Wizkid Machala, you lose,” Odumodublvck warned, using Wizkid’s nickname to emphasize the potential risk of jealousy in the music industry.
Wizkid, who has become a household name both in Nigeria and internationally, continues to inspire and collaborate with younger artists. His success and influence have set a standard in the industry, which Odumodublvck seems to believe should be respected rather than envied. By sharing his own outlook, the rapper hopes to encourage others to focus on their craft instead of harboring negative emotions toward their peers.
In the ever-competitive Nigerian music scene, maintaining good relationships with key players like Wizkid could play a crucial role in an artist’s long-term success. Odumodublvck’s advice is a reminder to fellow musicians to appreciate the opportunities they have and not let unnecessary expectations hinder their progress.
