Newsypeople – In a recent interview, Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck delivered a powerful message to his colleagues in the music industry, emphasizing the importance of not harboring animosity towards Grammy-winning artist Wizkid.
He articulated that disliking Wizkid is tantamount to self-sabotage, a sentiment that resonates deeply in the competitive landscape of music. This commentary comes at a time when tensions between various artists are palpable, particularly following public spats involving Davido and Wizkid.
Odumodublvck’s comments were made during an interview with content creator Elsie while he was in Toronto, Canada. He pointed out that many artists mistakenly view collaborations with established stars like Wizkid as favors rather than opportunities for growth. He stated,
“If Wizkid gives me a verse and my album comes and he doesn’t post about it, I will not be angry.”
This perspective highlights a crucial aspect of collaboration—the value lies in the contribution itself, not necessarily in the promotional efforts that follow.
The rapper’s warning is clear:
“If you start hating on Wizkid Machala, you lose.”
This statement reflects a broader truth within the music industry—negative sentiments can hinder personal and professional growth.

Instead of fostering resentment, artists should focus on building relationships and learning from their more successful peers. The competitive nature of the industry often leads to unnecessary rivalries that can detract from an artist’s potential.
Odumodublvck shared his own experiences in the industry, emphasizing that he has never pressured featured artists to promote his work.
He believes that receiving a verse from a prominent artist is already a significant achievement. His approach encourages a mindset shift among emerging artists, urging them to appreciate the opportunities presented by collaborations rather than fixating on social media visibility.
Odumodublvck’s remarks have sparked discussions among fans and fellow artists alike. Many have echoed his sentiments, recognizing that collaboration should be viewed as a mutually beneficial arrangement rather than an obligation to promote each other’s work. This perspective could pave the way for more harmonious relationships within the Nigerian music scene.
