You’ll Lose If You Hate Wizkid – Odumodublvck Tells Colleagues

Odumodublvck, the popular Nigerian rapper, has warned Nigerian artistes against “hating” Grammy-winning singer, Wizkid.

Speaking in a recent interview with content creator, Elsie in Toronto, Canada, the ‘Wotowoto Seasoning’ crooner said hating Wizkid is self-sabotage.

He said personally, he wouldn’t be offended if he featured Wizkid on his album and he didn’t post it on social media.

“There some artists that when you release music with them, they look as if they are doing you a favour.

“I’ve never released music and asked the artist that I featured to post it. I don’t care if you promote it. You’ve done the most important thing by giving me a verse,” he said.

“If Wizkid gives me a verse and my album comes and he doesn’t post about it, I will not be angry. If you start hating on Wizkid Machala, you lose.”

I Don’t Believe Wizkid And Davido’s Beef Is Real – Ladipoe

Nigerian rapper, Oladipoe has stated that he doesn’t believe that the beef between Wizkid and Davido is real.
He stated this during an interviw with with City 105.1FM.
According to him, they could be using the beef as a strategy to promote something.
The rapper stated that he has seen it before and stated that it could be same thing playing out again.
In Ladipoe’s words:
“Honest truth, honestly, I have no idea. And why I say so is because this is not the first time that there has been something like this between these two juggernaut artistes y’know. So, who is to say? And I’m not personally close to either of them to be able to look behind the veil. I’ve been somebody that has gotten to admire them from afar. I’ve definitely shaken Wizkid’s hand a couple of times. I’ve shaken David’s hand a couple of times. And in both ways, I respect them.
 
You know what I feel? I fall in the fanbase that feels that they are just too savvy and business minded to not one day say “pull up, Davido and Wizkid concert or Wizkid and Davido concert”. I just feel like una dey whine me. That’s my own personal feeling: una dey whine me. They are too big to not see the business opportunity in front of them. So, that’s my take. But whether it’s real or not, who is to say?
Beef for promoting stuff is an old tactic. It’s effective. I don’t love it personally, but it’s tried and tested, and it works. It’s not my preferred strategy, but it works.”
