Blaqbonez threatens N2.55bn suit against Odumodublvck over sexual abuse claims, he responds

Nigerian rapper Blaqbonez has threatened to institute a N2.55 billion lawsuit against fellow artiste Odumodublvck over alleged defamation, harassment, and threats stemming from social media posts that described him as a “sexual abuser.”

The dispute follows comments made by Odumodublvck last month, in which he alleged that some individuals in the music industry were protecting Blaqbonez from sexual abuse accusations.

He also reignited his public disagreement with Blaqbonez’s record label, Chocolate City, accusing the company of making repeated attempts to have him arrested.

In a letter dated July 7, 2026, Blaqbonez’s legal representatives, Punuka Attorneys & Solicitors, accused Odumodublvck, whose real name is Tochukwu Ojogwu, of making and circulating defamatory statements that have allegedly harmed their client, Emeka Akumefule, professionally and commercially.

The letter seeks N2.55 billion in damages, injunctive reliefs, and a public apology.

“It is our considered brief that you, Mr. Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu (a.k.a. Odumodu Blvck/Industry Machine), have, over a sustained period, conducted yourself in a manner suggesting that the ordinary restraints of law, civility and accountability do not apply to you,” the document reads in part.

“You have published, republished, and caused to be amplified across your social media platforms, statements of a threatening, defamatory and grossly abusive character, directed specifically at our Client.”

According to the lawyers, the alleged publications unlawfully exposed Blaqbonez “to public ridicule, hatred, contempt and opprobrium” and caused significant damage to his reputation, emotional wellbeing, and commercial interests.

“Our Client has suffered and continues to suffer significant loss and damage as a direct consequence of your unlawful conduct,” it added.

The legal team is asking the court to declare that Odumodublvck’s publications describing Blaqbonez as a “sexual abuser,” “sexual abusing bastard,” or suggesting he committed sexual abuse or misconduct are “false, malicious, defamatory and calculated to injure” his reputation, goodwill, and business interests.

They also urged the court to declare that Odumodublvck’s alleged threats, insults, and repeated publications amounted to “a deliberate and sustained campaign of online harassment, intimidation and reputational attack” against Blaqbonez.

Among the reliefs sought, Blaqbonez is requesting perpetual injunctions restraining Odumodublvck from making further threatening or defamatory publications and from alleging that he committed sexual abuse or any criminal offence.

The rapper is also seeking an order directing Odumodublvck to delete all alleged offending posts, reposts, videos, and related publications from his X, Instagram, and other digital platforms. He also wants the court to compel Odumodublvck to publish “a full, clear and unequivocal retraction and public apology” on his verified social media accounts, with the apology pinned for at least 30 consecutive days.

Blaqbonez is further asking the court to compel Odumodublvck to publicly caution his supporters against “harassing, threatening, abusing, intimidating, contacting or attacking” him.

The letter seeks N2 billion as general damages for alleged injury to Blaqbonez’s reputation, goodwill, commercial standing, and business interests; N500 million as aggravated damages over what the lawyers described as the “malicious, repeated, violent, threatening and reckless nature” of the publications; and N50 million as the cost of the action.

The legal team warned that failure to comply with the demands within seven days would result in legal action without further notice.

“TAKE NOTICE that you have seven (7) days from the date of this letter within which to comply with the demands set out above, failing which our Client shall, without further recourse to you, and without further notice, commence proceedings for the reliefs set out herein, together with such further and other orders as the circumstances may require,” it added.

“This letter is written without prejudice to all rights, claims and remedies available to our Client, all of which are expressly reserved.”

Responding to the legal threat in a post on X, Odumodublvck maintained his allegation against Blaqbonez, insisting the rapper is a “sexual abuser”.

“@BlaqBonez I STAND ON IT. THIS IS NOT DEFAMATION,” he wrote.

“YOU ARE A SEXUAL ABUSER. YOU DID IT. JUST BECAUSE YOU GIVE A HUNDRED BLOGS TO POST YOUR 10TH PETITION TO ME, DOES NOT MEAN I WILL CHANGE MY STANCE.

“IF I WAS WRONG WHY HAVE YOUR 9 OTHER PETITIONS TO ME FAILED? YOU ARE GUILTY.”
