Rapper Odumodu Blvck
Rapper Odumodu Blvck has sparked outrage online after declaring that one of his biggest dreams is to be arrested and paraded by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The controversial artist made the statement in a post where he openly invited the anti-graft agency to pick him up, boasting that it would give him bragging rights.
“My dream is to appear here one day. So I go fit commot talk ‘EFCC if you like gym’. Even if na for one week. Wor abeg make una come hol me,” he wrote.
His comment immediately stirred backlash, with many social media users berating him for what they described as an immature and reckless statement.
Critics pointed out that the EFCC parade is not a badge of honor but a disgraceful moment reserved for those facing serious criminal allegations.
Some users bluntly told the rapper to redirect his energy to his fading career instead of chasing clout with outrageous remarks. “Focus on your ailing music career, stop begging for cheap attention,” one user fired.
Another wrote, “So your dream in life is to be disgraced publicly? Artistes of today keep lowering the bar.”
While a few fans laughed off his post as nothing but a joke, the general consensus on social media was that Odumodu Blvck crossed the line with his desire to be linked with the EFCC.
The agency itself has not responded to his unusual request, but the rapper remains the subject of heated online debate over what many describe as the “lowest form of publicity stunt.” (Sunday Tribune)
