Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck has accused police officers of attempting to arrest him unlawfully after his performance at a nightclub in the early hours of Saturday.
A video of the incident, which has since gone viral, was shared on X by Daygenius, an associate of the rapper. In the footage, Odumodublvck is seen inside a vehicle having a heated exchange with a police officer.
The officer questioned why the rapper was resisting arrest, claiming that he had previously been invited to appear before the police.
“Invitation was sent to you, it’s okay. What I want to ask you now, are you resisting an arrest? If you’re not resisting an arrest, tell me why you are not following the police?” the officer asked.
Odumodublvck, however, maintained that his lawyers had already handled the matter and argued that the officer had no jurisdiction to arrest him.
“You don’t have the jurisdiction; you came to my house. Don’t tell me to wait. You told my estate people to tell me to come, and I told my lawyers, and they attended to it. I am not resisting an arrest. My lawyers attended to it,” the rapper said.
The confrontation reportedly occurred after his performance at Boho Club.
Daygenius, who shared the video, alleged that Odumodublvck showed the officers a document indicating that the arrest should not go ahead. He also linked the incident to the rapper’s ongoing dispute with fellow musician Blaqbonez.
“At the club this morning, they tried to illegally arrest Odumodublvck after his electrifying performance at BOHO. He showed them a document that nullified the arrest,” he wrote.
“Shebi the matter dey court, and his lawyers are attending to it. Why are they trying to illegally pick him just to score PR points. These people are shameless asf.”
The incident comes amid a prolonged dispute between Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez, which has played out publicly on social media.
In July, Blaqbonez filed a N2.55 billion lawsuit against Odumodublvck over alleged “defamation and harassment”.
The woman at the centre of the dispute between the two rappers also recently labelled Blaqbonez a “manipulator”.
