Nigerian rapper and songwriter, Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu better known as Odumodublvck has disclosed that he once declined an offer to meet Davido.
In a recent interview on the CTRL Room, Odumodublvck stated that he declined to meet up with Davido because the Afrobeats start does not align with his vision.
Odumodublvck further stated that Teezee, BOJ, and Sholzy were really important for him to get into the UK music scene because their style and sound were similar to his.
Realizing that he could do well globally, Odumodublvck chose to work with these artists and make his career in the UK music industry.
He said,
“In 2019, someone said we should go to Lagos and meet Davido. But I was like, ‘What will Davido do for me?’ Even if Davido takes me to America and puts me on stage and I am rapping my stuff, his fans will not understand because they are Afrobeats fans.
“But these guys: Teezee, BOJ, and Sholz, are the pipeline to the UK market. And those are the closest guys I sound like internationally. So why do not I follow that route to get to wherever I want to get to?
“I was like, I do not need Davido for anything now. Let me follow people who align with my vision. And that was how we just came together and we are here now. Number one in the country against all odds.”
