Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck has shared the surprising details behind his successful collaborations with Afrobeats heavyweights Wizkid and Davido for his recently released album, Industry Machine. The rapper revealed that neither superstar charged him for their appearances, citing their involvement as a profound gesture of mutual respect for his dedication and work ethic.
During a recent interview, the “Declan Rice” hitmaker explained that the two industry legends agreed to feature on the project out of pure goodwill, separate from any business arrangement.
“Davido and Wizkid are real men,” Odumodublvck stated. “Both of them know they are on my album, but they are there by the special grace of God and because of the respect they have for my hustle. I didn’t pay them a dime.”
Wizkid Gifts an Entire Track
The revelation went deeper with regards to Wizkid’s contribution. Odumodublvck disclosed that the Starboy took his support a step further, not only agreeing to collaborate but actually gifting the rapper an entire song.
“The song that Wizkid featured on is actually his song. He gave it to me. I didn’t even record it,” the rapper proudly shared, adding, “Wizkid’s verse on my album is the greatest verse you’ve ever heard.”
The unprecedented support from two of the most globally influential figures in African music has garnered widespread admiration from fans. They have praised Wizkid and Davido for backing a new-generation artist like Odumodublvck purely based on artistic merit and without financial motivation.
The buzz generated by this story is expected to further propel the commercial success of Industry Machine, solidifying Odumodublvck’s position as one of Nigeria’s most fearless and creative voices in modern rap and Afrobeats.
