Nigerian rapper, Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu, professionally known as Odumodublvck, has opened up on what transpired when he met the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.

The rapper, who just featured Nigerian football star Alex Iwobi in a song, stated that he suffered emotional and personal abuse for endorsing the former Anambra state governor.

In a recent interview, the rapper detailed what he told the former Anambra state governor when they met recently.

He said it took him courage to speak out during the heat of political campaigns and the backlash he faced from fans and critics alike.

Odumodu recounted, “When I saw him, I said, sir, good morning. Because of you, they are insulting me online, it’s true. When you were the presidential candidate, I came out and I supported youu, everybody knows.”

The Declan Rice crooner revealed in the interview that his decision to back Obi was not politically motivated but driven by personal conviction. He said his stand came at a cost, especially as an entertainer in an era where public opinion can be harsh and unforgiving.

He added, “I didn’t want Peter Obi to save me. I even sang about it. You know what it is for an artist to come out and support a presidential candidate? Yes, backlash. But I did it.”
