Odumodu Blvck stirred reactions online after a video surfaced of him referring to Blaqbonez’s fans as “f**ls.” The clip, which quickly went viral on social media, didn’t sit well with fans of the Emeka Must Shine rapper. Instead of trading insults, they decided to make a statement with numbers — and it’s working.
Following the drama, one of Blaqbonez’s songs made a jump on the Spotify Nigeria chart, landing at No. 12, and the streams continue to rise. Supporters of Blaqbonez are rallying on social media, encouraging one another to stream his music across all platforms. This appears to be their way of responding without feeding into the online back-and-forth.
How It Started
Odumodu Blvck and Blaqbonez have had a relatively neutral relationship until now. While both artists are known for pushing the boundaries of Nigerian hip-hop, there hasn’t been any known collaboration or public beef between them until this incident. The exact reason for Odumodu’s outburst is unclear, but the backlash was immediate.
Blaqbonez, known for his clever marketing and humorous clapbacks, hasn’t publicly responded yet. But judging by his fans’ reaction, they’ve already taken matters into their own hands.
Fan Reactions and Streaming Campaign
On X (formerly Twitter), Blaqbonez’s fans launched hashtags and posted screenshots showing their streaming efforts. Many are calling for others to boost his numbers as a way of showing loyalty and pride in their artist. The campaign has already shown results — getting a song back into the top 20 of the Spotify Nigeria chart is no small feat, especially without a new release or major promo.
Some fans believe Odumodu’s comment was unprovoked and unnecessary, while others see it as part of the ongoing banter that sometimes fuels the music industry.
What This Means for Nigerian Rap
This incident may reignite interest in rap rivalries within the Nigerian music scene. While Afrobeat continues to dominate the charts, artists like Blaqbonez and Odumodu have kept hip-hop alive with unique approaches to sound and branding.
For Blaqbonez, this might turn into a win. Fan loyalty is showing through action, and the increased visibility could lead to even more people discovering or revisiting his discography. For Odumodu, it’s unclear if this moment will affect his reputation or spark a larger conversation among peers.
