Nigerian rapper, Tochukwu Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck, said he turned down a $200,000 recording contract before joining his current label, NATIVE.
Odumodu Blvck disclosed this revelation before his performance at a recent show in Abuja, where he initially began his music career.
The raper revealed that he was approached by music executives with a lucrative offer of $200,000 to join their label. However, he opted to decline that offer and instead chose to sign with NATIVE Records, owned by Teezee of DRB Lasgidi.
The ‘Picanto’ crooner emphasized that his decision wasn’t driven by financial considerations, stating that making music for him has always been about more than just money.
Odumodublvck expressed joy that his choice has yielded positive results, with his name now being part of conversations across Lagos, Abuja, and other parts of Nigeria.
He said; “I will tell you this for free, I had some people, they offered me 200,000 dollars to join them, I said no. I took 10,000 first from Teezee, I declined 200 and took 10 to be with Teezee. It’s not about the money. Now we are here, we are in the conversation.”
