Music artist and rapper, Odumodu Blvck, has ignited controversy with a recent tweet in which he unveiled the title of his upcoming song, "Mc Oluomo." This announcement has garnered significant backlash from many Nigerians, particularly those of Igbo descent on the X platform, who expressed their displeasure.
It's important to note that Mc Oluomo was allegedly involved in denying Igbos the opportunity to vote in the recently concluded 2023 general elections.
In response to the criticism, Odumodu Blvck posted a follow-up tweet where he referred to those opposing the title of his song as "big fools" and labeled them as "stupid." He also cautioned Nigerians not to make it a tribal issue, stating, "WHEN I NO GO PERFORM FOR INAUGURATION YORUBA PEOPLE INSULT ME. WHEN I SING MC OLUOMO IGBO PEOPLE INSULT ME. WAHALA 😂😂#MCOLUOMO."
Here are some reactions from netizens:
@oluwatofunmii_: "The irony of an Igbo musician releasing a song titled.....MC Oluomo. Like there's not a whole video where he's threatening your people and warning 'Mama Chukwudi not to come out to vote. Make it make sense please."
@BestTokoniEver: "It's not even about the message, it's about the principle. Most Nigerian artistes stand for nothing, and I think him using MC Oluomo in a song is just sensationalizing/baiting. Neither of them deserves to be platformed, and in the coming days, we should prepare to be sick of it."
@Heavy0Makain: "Why will anybody want to listen to a song that promotes MC OLUOMO. There is absolutely nothing worth emulating in that useless thug."
@elrheymusic: "Lmao... You literally gave a speech about the MC Oluomo fighting spirit. 😂 Next song go be 'Adolf Hitler' but e no go be about Adolf Hitler, e go be about 'strong leadership' 😂🙏🏾."
@josephanyaa: "Wetin be oluomo? Christ in me the hope of glory abeg 😂😂😂."
