Nigerian rapper OdumoduBlvck has boldly declared himself as the “new Olamide Baddo”, drawing comparisons to the legendary rapper’s impact on the music industry.
The fast-rising star made this assertion on his X page on March 14, 2025, shortly after his latest guest appearance on Wizard Chan’s new song, ‘Flako’.
A Star on the Rise
OdumoduBlvck’s claim isn’t far-fetched, as he has built a reputation as Nigeria’s most prolific rapper, whose features have helped push multiple songs to hit status, much like Olamide’s iconic feature run in the past.
His growing influence is evident in his 8 nominations at the upcoming 17th Headies Awards, solidifying his dominance in the Nigerian rap scene.
Busy 2025 & New Album on the Way
The rapper has had a packed 2025, dropping multiple singles, including ‘Pity This Boy’ featuring Victony, which has been performing well on streaming platforms.
Additionally, he recently collaborated with Antiworld Gangsters on their joint project, ‘Nothing Change’, which notably featured Olamide on the track ‘Jegede’—a major cosign from the YBNL boss himself.
His next move? ‘The Machine’, his highly anticipated new album, which aims to surpass the success of his 2023 project ‘Eziokwu’—one of the biggest Nigerian rap albums in the streaming era.
From ‘Picanto’ to Global Recognition
OdumoduBlvck first broke into the mainstream with his hit single ‘Picanto’ featuring Zlatan, followed by the chart-topping ‘Declan Rice’, which earned international acclaim and was even used in Arsenal’s unveiling of the England star.
His unique sound has also drawn praise from global hip-hop heavyweights like Skepta, Stormzy, and Rick Ross, further cementing his status as one of Nigeria’s most exciting rap exports.
With his bold declaration and impressive trajectory, OdumoduBlvck is undoubtedly making a case as the next rap superstar to carry the torch.
