Highlights on Odumodublvck music carrier stories
Controversy: Misogyny Allegations
Odumodublvck faced backlash over lyrics from his 2023 track “Cast” with Shallipopi that some interpreted as derogatory toward women (specifically, lines about wigs and designer handbags).
He responded (in an interview on The Beat FM, Lagos) by calling the allegations “fake,” pointing out his collaborations with women in the industry as proof he isn’t misogynistic.
Stream Farming Debate
He has been involved in discussions about stream manipulation. At times he alleged that there’s a lot of stream farming in the Nigerian music industry.
However, more recently, he has taken a bit of a different tone — saying that complaining about stream farms may sometimes be used as an excuse by artists whose songs aren’t performing as they expect. He insists a genuinely well-liked song will show its strength regardless.
