It’s no news; especially if you’re active on X (formerly Twitter) that two of Nigeria’s most talked-about rappers, Blaqbonez and Odumodublvck, are currently at loggerheads.
What makes this rift even more surprising is their collaborative history. After blessing us with hits like Tesla Boy, Dollarz, and Technician, who would have thought these two would end up on opposite sides of the battlefield?
But this isn’t just one of those friendly rap rivalries about who has the better bars. This feels deeply personal. Subliminal shots have been fired in music, interviews, and tweets—turning passive aggression into a full-on cultural moment.
The Origins: “Pussy Niggaz” & the First Shot
The first public sign of tension came on November 26, 2024, when Odumodublvck posted a now-infamous freestyle titled Pussy Niggaz on his Instagram.
No names were mentioned, but the lyrics painted a very specific picture. Lines like “lenge lenge” and “even if I’m not the king of hip-hop, you too you’re not the best” made it clear: Odumodu wasn’t just venting—he was aiming.
At the time, Blaqbonez stayed silent. No tweets. No tracks. Nothing.
Tensions Build: From Stage Gestures to Slick Lines
At the 17th Headies Awards, rumors swirled that Odumodublvck flashed a “fuck you” sign at Blaqbonez while performing on stage. Still, Blaq kept quiet. Until June 20th, when he finally clapped back, subtly.
On his verse in A-Q’s Who Is Really Rapping, Blaq dropped bars like:
“Like Wizkid, I can’t complain / all I can say is act your age / Pushing 50 and still fighting opps, I don’t know man, that really sounds crazy”
The subliminal didn’t end there. Blaq followed it up with a tweet:
“Whenever you rap, people call you wack, could never be me though 🤷🏽♂️”
At this point, fans knew what time it was.
From Passive to Aggressive: Direct Fire on the Timeline
The tension escalated fast when Odumodu replied to one of Blaqbonez’s tweets with:
“IF RAP HARD FOR ME YOUR LAST HIT NO GO DEY WITH ME.
I AM EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO BE NIGGA.
YOUR SPIRIT IS WEAK.”
Blaq didn’t hold back:
“ENTER STUDIO & GET TF OUT MY MENTIONS.
THIS NO BE TWITTER WARFARE.
& STOP CALLING THE WHOLE INDUSTRY CRYING ABOUT ME.
NO BE SO KENDRICK LAMAR DEY DO.
HIPHOP LEGACY.”
From there, it spiraled. Odumodu went on a tweeting spree, attacking Blaqbonez and his circle. He capped it off by posting a snippet of an upcoming diss track.
So… What Now? Both artists are now in full conflict mode. No more coded messages. No more holding back.
But it begs the question:
Is this beef good for the culture, or is it tearing down a scene that thrives better on unity? Is this the fire that will ignite Nigerian hip-hop’s competitive spirit? Or will it distract from the music and divide a fanbase that only recently started embracing local rap again?
One thing is certain: we’re in a defining moment for the genre.
Now we turn it over to you. What do you think ? Does rap in Nigeria need more collaboration or more beef to evolve?
