It began like so many hip-hop tussles—with a studio session and a swaggering beat—but Nigerian rap’s latest feud is now flirting with true-crime territory.
A Warning Tweet That Froze the Timeline
On June 22, 2025, Chocolate City’s firebrand Blaqbonez jolted fans with a stark post on 𝕏: “Them say them go kill me, but I don record enough for three more albums.” The 29-year-old said unnamed “music figures” had threatened his life, adding that he’d banked extra material “in case.”
How Did We Get Here?

The Collaboration He Never Wanted
The seeds of distrust were sown in April 2024, when Blaqbonez claimed he was forced to feature on Odumodublvck’s drill-tinged single “Technician.” He later asked DSPs to pull the track, calling himself “a victim” of industry pressure. -
Smoke Turns to Fire
In the months that followed, subliminal jabs flew on socials, but the tension spiked again on June 16, 2025 when a viral clip showed Odumodublvck confronting up-and-coming rapper Wavestar—a known Blaqbonez ally—over “disrespect” at an event. The face-off stoked fears about Odumodublvck’s temper and added real-world menace to an already brittle rivalry.
Why Blaqbonez’s Alarm Rings Loud
Beyond Rap Theater: Nigerian hip-hop thrives on bravado, but explicit death threats are rare. The rapper’s plea drags the feud from lyrical sport into personal-safety territory.
Collateral Damage: Festival promoters and brand partners now weigh security concerns; any live booking with both artists could spark panic.
Label Headache: Chocolate City (Blaqbonez) and NATIVE Records (Odumodublvck) risk PR blow-back—and potential legal scrutiny—if the dispute spills offline.
Odumodublvck’s Silence—and the Road Ahead
As of press time, Odumodublvck has issued no direct response to the assassination claim. Industry insiders say private mediation is being explored, but neither label has confirmed. Meanwhile, fans have launched the hashtag #ProtectBlaqbonez, urging authorities and the music community to intervene before diss tracks turn into obituaries.
Bottom Line
What started as a spat over a shared beat now carries the scent of real danger. Until both camps address Blaqbonez’s chilling tweet—or law enforcement steps in—Nigeria’s most explosive rap feud sits one trigger-pull away from tragedy.
