THIS DAWN — Social media posts have circulated alleging that Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck declared he would “never ever do a song with a Ghanaian artiste, even for $1 million.”
The claim ties his statement to frustrations over Nigeria’s AFCON semifinal loss, where a Ghanaian referee officiated the match.
The Ghanaian referee who officiated the AFCON semifinal between Morocco and Nigeria was Daniel Nii Ayi Laryea.
He served as the centre referee for the high-profile match.
What Happened
- During Nigeria’s AFCON clash against Morocco in January 2026, Odumodublvck took to X (formerly Twitter) to vent his frustration.
- In a now‑viral post, he wrote: “If we lose this match, I will never make music with a Ghanaian artist in my life.”
The comment was made in the heat of the game, reflecting football rivalry rather than a formal career policy.
Context
Odumodublvck’s remark was linked to claims that the Ghanaian referee favored Morocco, fueling long‑standing Nigeria–Ghana tensions in sports and entertainment.
The statement quickly spread across social media, with many interpreting it literally as a permanent boycott of Ghanaian artistes.
However, Odumodublvck has previously spoken about bridging divides in African music.
He even expressed interest in fostering unity between Nigerian and Ghanaian stars.
Analysis
- Yes, he did make the statement — but it was situational, emotional, and tied to a football match.
- No, it was not an official career stance.
There is no evidence that Odumodublvck has issued a formal ban on collaborating with Ghanaian artistes.
- His history of openness to cross‑border collaborations contradicts the idea of a permanent refusal.
Verdict
The claim that “Odumodublvck will never ever do a song with a Ghanaian artiste” is MISLEADING.
- He made the comment during a football match out of frustration.
- It was not a binding declaration of his artistic direction.
- Odumodublvck remains part of a music culture where Nigeria–Ghana collaborations are common and celebrated.
Odumodublvck’s viral statement was more of a football‑related outburst than a serious career policy.
While he did say it in the moment, interpreting it as a permanent refusal to work with Ghanaian artistes distorts the context.
Final Judgment: Misleading claim!
