Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck, has publicly urged 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi to return the support he once gave him during the last general elections.
Taking to his official X handle on Thursday, April 3, the Abuja-born artiste expressed frustration over Obi’s silence on his new album release, “The Machine Is Coming.”
Odumodu argued that he backed the politician with “sweat and blood” and now expects the same energy in return for his new music project.
In his first post, the rapper directly called on Obi to promote his upcoming album.
“@PeterObi hello Mr Peter Obi. I support you that year. Oya support me now. Oya do video dey talk The Machine is coming. Abeg. Me and you never ever get problem before. Make e no start now.”
Moments later, he followed up with a stronger statement, making his frustration even clearer:
“The time wey I support Peter Obi na with sweat and blood. If he cannot give me a ‘common’ tweet, then me and am go fight. I no dey hide my mouth. Make una dey talk una own. The Machine is coming.”
Odumodublvck reminds Peter Obi of beef with Tinubu
Odumodublvck was one of the most vocal figures in the entertainment industry supporting Obi’s presidential bid in 2023. In the NATIVE Sound System single “Vex”, released on March 2, 2023, he even referenced his hope that Obi would “save” him.
The rapper also turned down an offer to perform at Bola Tinubu’s inauguration in May 2023, stating that “they did not do their research.”
Still on calling out Peter Obi for his support, the singer reminded the politician of his direct beef with the current president, Bola Tinubu.
“@PeterObi I even dissed Tinubu for you. Now because of you, the people are spitting on me and my legacy. Tweet The Machine is coming to rekindle and redeem our friendship, sir. Do not listen to them. Listen to your heart. The Machine is coming,” he noted.
In another post on X, he added, “On today’s episode of Wage War – the people of Peter Obi vs the Industry Machine. Go and ask around, I have never lost a war. Peter Obi has lost an election. There is only one winner here. Tell that man to promote my album or else I will cut ties with him with immediate effect.”
As of the time of reporting, Peter Obi has not responded to the rapper’s demand.
