Nigerian rapper, Odumodublvck reveals that music wasn’t his first career path.
In a recent interview, he shared how he went into the music industry by chance. Odumodublvck initially wanted to be an artist manager, but a friend’s request changed everything.
He said, “I never said I wanted to be an artist. I wanted to go and manage somebody, and the person asked me to write music. I gave it a chance, and that’s how it started. Music called me.”
He also said, “He came to me and said he was downstairs, that he had dropped out and wanted to record. He asked me to manage him. We gave our last N20,000 for production. When we got to the studio, I ended up writing the song.”
Despite music not being his first choice, Odumodublvck has achieved success. His 2023 hit single “Declan Rice” was ranked the second biggest global rap song of the year by Spotify. The song reached number one on Apple Music Nigeria’s Top 100 and Spotify Nigeria’s Top 5.
