Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck has opened up about a chapter of his life that could have cut his rising career short.

He recounted:
“I was a very bright student while at UNILAG, but I was indulging in illicit drugs. One day, I took it and almost died. I called my mother to book my flight to return to Abuja. After that incident, I only took drugs once before quitting.”
The rapper admitted that his story could have ended tragically, like many others who never recovered from drug addiction.
He stated:
“I’m grateful because some people went into that life and didn’t make it out. Some people didn’t make it alive. Some had lost people to it — they died because of drug abuse. Some even committed su*cide. I’ve seen a pregnant woman and her husband battling drug addiction. It’s really terrible!” he said.

Odumodu chides junior colleague
TheTalk.NG earlier reported that the rapper issued a stern warning to budding artist Wavestar, who is closely affiliated with Blaqbonez, has set social media abuzz.
In the clip, which surfaced online on Monday, the “Declan Rice” crooner is seen confronting Wavestar at a recent event, expressing his displeasure over the latter’s failure to greet him.
According to Odumodu, such behaviour was disrespectful and unacceptable, especially from a junior in the industry.
