HEADIES Rookie award winner, Tochukwu Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck, has opened up on why he refused to affiliate with Davido despite suggestions from his team.
Speaking in a recent interview with the CTRL Room, the ‘Declan Rice’ crooner opened up on how he turned down a suggestion from his team to affiliate with afrobeats superstar, Davido, to achieve fame.
Odumodublvck said: “In 2019, someone [in my team] 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’m rapping my stuff, his fans won’t 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 don’t I follow that route to get to wherever I want to get to?”
The rapper’s recently released album, Eziokwu, is top of Nigeria’s album chart while his hit song Blood on the Dance Floor is also top of the Apple Music charts.
