The simmering tension between Nigerian rap stars Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez has erupted into a full-blown public feud, with both artists exchanging heated words on social media platforms on Sunday.
The conflict, which has been brewing for several days, initially sparked after Blaqbonez released a diss track aimed at Odumodublvck in his latest collaboration with A-Q titled 'Who's Really Rapping.'
From Subtle Jabs to Direct Confrontation
What began as indirect exchanges on X (formerly Twitter) quickly escalated when Odumodublvck responded to Blaqbonez's claim that "rap is difficult for some rappers." In a pointed retort, Odumodublvck stated, "If rap hard for me your last hit no go dey with me. I'm everything you want to be, n*gga. Your spirit is weak."
Blaqbonez fired back, challenging Odumodublvck to take the battle to the studio rather than social media: "Enter studio and get TF out my mentions. This no be Twitter warfare. And stop calling the whole industry crying about me. No be so Kendrick Lamar dey do. Hip-hop legacy."
Beyond Music: A Personal Vendetta
The exchange took a more serious turn when Odumodublvck declared that their beef transcends music, stating: "You want to make it about studio. Na lie. We go meet again for street. You know the level. This is not a rap beef. Na me and you for this world."
This statement has raised concerns among fans about the potential for the conflict to move beyond verbal sparring to something more serious, especially given Blaqbonez's subsequent claim that his life is under threat.
The feud represents a significant moment in Nigerian hip-hop, as both artists have substantial followings and have previously collaborated on successful tracks. Industry observers note that such public disputes, while potentially damaging to personal relationships, often generate increased attention for the artists involved and the hip-hop scene as a whole.
As the situation continues to develop, fans are divided in their support, with some calling for reconciliation while others eagerly anticipate response tracks from both artists.
