Rapper Odumodublvk Gives Reason Why He Cannot Move to Lagos

Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck, during an appearance on Quincy Jonze’s Echo Room podcast, has said that, despite Lagos being Nigeria’s entertainment capital, he finds it difficult moving to Lagos.

According to him, his main reason is due to the city’s perceived lack of safety and the possible harmful effect on his mental health.

He rather prefers residing in Abuja, a city known for its relaxed and tranquil environment, where he enjoys a considerable level of recognition.

In his 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 Echo 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 he call me, he went first to 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.”
