On July 31, 2025, Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck responded to the ongoing controversy over stream manipulation in the Nigerian music industry, directly addressing claims by fellow rapper Blaqbonez. Taking to X, he urged fans not to be misled by accusations, emphasizing that genuine popularity cannot be faked. “Dear public, do not let them deceive you. No matter how much a song is stream farmed, if your song is good and the people love it, it will show,” he posted. “All this one na small pikin scopes and antics, insecurities. Trynna prepare the table for in case you fail. Losers.”
Odumodublvck dismissed blaming stream farmers for poor chart performance, comparing it to “blaming the devil for your evil deeds. It’s the devil’s work? Na lie. Na your work. Your work is not good enough. Pity the devil.” He criticized veteran artists who fail to outshine alleged stream manipulators, stating, “Been in the game for so long yet they cannot beat the stream farmers. Waste of experience.”
When a fan asked how artists can compete against stream farming, Odumodublvck replied, “By making exceptional music. Pity this boy. Juju blood on the dance floor. Woto woto seasoning. Dog. Eag. Dog. Legolas. Dem no born any stream farm well, the people love the music. E dey show.” His comments follow concerns raised by Blaqbonez and Magixx, who accused unnamed artists of using bots to inflate streaming numbers, distorting charts and visibility.
Odumodublvck’s stance underscores that authentic fan connection and quality music are the true drivers of success, regardless of industry practices. The debate, fueled by social media, continues to spark discussions on the integrity of Nigeria’s music charts.
