Nigerian rapper OdumoduBlvck shares his dream of becoming the Wizkid of rap in Nigeria.
He claimed that although he could offer classic hip-hop like American artist Eminem, he has purposefully opted not to.
He asserts that Nigerians are insensitive to hip-hop.
A podcast conversation with OdumoduBlvck recently revealed his viewpoint. He feels that melodious music appeals to Nigerians more than anything else, thus in order to make his rap more commercially successful, he opted to make it less complex.
In the same way that Wizkid transformed R&B in Nigeria, he declared that his mission is to make Nigerian rap attractive.
While some Nigerian singers have explored pure rap, in his opinion, they have not succeeded in inspiring fans with the essential excitement.
He stated:
“Some Nigerians did pure rap but they didn’t make it exciting for people to gravitate towards it.
“People said my rap sounds like nursery school rhymes. I dumbed it down so I can sell these records, so you don’t have to think twice. When you listen to my rap, if you understand the lingo you get it once. You don’t have to go to any dictionary.
“It’s not hard core rap. It’s easy. I’ve made it exciting. Just like Wizkid, I want to make my rap sweet and exciting.
“I can rap like Eminem and all these guys but bro where I come from nobody is gonna listen to that stuff. They don’t understand it.”
In another story, Odumodublvck reportedly splurges millions on brand new Lamborghini Gallardo.
The exciting news came through a post by the singer’s close friend and film director, ‘Mrwhxswho,’ on Instagram.
Accompanying the post was a picture of the super green sports car, freshly acquired by Odumodu.
