The Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Ojogwu, better known by his stage name Odumodublvck, has shared tales of his early career as a struggling artist, including the time he lost his father due to his family’s inability to pay N70,000 for a hospital bed.
He claimed that because of their poverty at the time, they had to bring his father home to die.

The vocalist of “Declan Rice” expressed his strong belief that no musician paved the route for his musical achievement because of his difficult experience.
Although no artist had opened the path for him, he acknowledged that other rappers had inspired him.
Odumodublvck posted the following on his X account on Wednesday: “My family was poor when my father died.” We were unable to pay the 70k [N70,000] hospital bed space. He had to go home with us.

Are you coming to tell me that you’ll be clearing my path? God is that, my brother. Bros, don’t use your ego to deny my reality.You inspire me, I agree. However, brothers, you open doors for no one. Nobody!
“I abhor n*ggas who attempt to act as gods.”
His outburst comes a few days after veteran singer Eedris Abdulkareem asserted in a podcast interview that he helped to establish the path for contemporary Nigerian musicians like Davido, Burna Boy, Wizkid, and others.
