Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck has opened up about a heartfelt moment he shared with Peter Obi, revealing what he told the former presidential candidate after a viral social media outburst where he called out the politician for not promoting his album.
In a recent interview, Odumodublvck recalled their encounter at an airport, where he respectfully greeted Peter Obi and then shared the weight of the backlash he’s faced since publicly supporting him during the 2023 elections.
“Respect to the man first of all. When I saw him I said, ‘Sir, good morning. Because of you they are insulting me online.’ It’s true. When you were a presidential candidate, I came and I supported you. I even sang about it. That’s backlash for me,” the rapper said.
He also recounted how he was prevented from voting during the elections and had to call his 68-year-old mother to accompany him to the polling unit.

Odumodu explained that his music is his business, and just like he supported Obi’s political “business,” he hoped Obi would return the gesture by supporting his creative work.
But social media reactions to the revelation have been far from sympathetic:
- @PNile wrote: “So should Trump or Kamala Harris promote albums now because artists supported them during campaigns? All this is clout.”
- @Chid7979 added: “Some of you need to hire media professionals. This interview is as messy as Seyi Tinubu crying the other day. Very unserious bunch.”
- @Nwanne_KaEnyi commented: “This guy just dey talk. Life is perception. Would he even get close enough to say this to Tinubu? Imagine Obi tweeting ‘Machine is coming’.”
- @GongolaOldBoy said: “Na Peter Obi I blame. If na me, I go tell am say ‘You’re too small.’ All of us supported Obi and got dragged. He should rest.”
While many fans remain critical of Odumodublvck’s approach, others commend him for keeping it real and speaking up about the emotional and professional toll of public political support in Nigeria’s polarizing climate.
