I am nobody’s role model – Odumodublvck warns fans

By Taiwo Okanlawon

Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck, has cautioned his fans not to look up to him as a role model.

In an interview with Pop Central TV, the rapper expressed frustration with the expectation that public figures remain silent in the face of criticism or attacks to protect their “brand”.

He said that, like other artists such as Davido and Phyno, he would not hesitate to respond when criticized.

“Where I have a problem is when people say that when they shoot you, we should keep quiet, all in the name of brand,” he said.

“The same way Jesus came to scatter everything, I came to scatter. See Davido, yab him, he will yab you back, Phyno, he will yab you back. You say because say I be brand. Brand for where? My brand is I will yab you back.

He said he is “nobody’s role model”, adding that he engages in behaviors like fornication, drinking, and smoking.

He added that he is not aspiring to be a role model and urged people to follow Jesus instead.

“Because you are a brand, you are a public figure, I am nobody’s role model. Jesus is there, follow Jesus. Do not follow me. I fornicate, I drink, I smoke. You want to make me your role model, you must be a dummy,” he added.

“I never came here to say I am the holiest guy but do not bring that shit to me. I feed my family with this, this is my hustle.”

Odumodublvck is known for his stage performance and genre-blend.

Recently, Odumodublvck signed a record deal with NATIVE Records, in partnership with Def Jam Recordings.

In October, he released his 14-track mixtape titled ‘Eziokwu’.
