What started as a casual tweet from rapper Odumodublvck has now turned into one of the most unexpected moments in Nigeria’s entertainment-politics crossover.
The artist, known for his gritty delivery and sharp commentary, took to social media on July 7 to praise none other than FCT Minister Nyesom Wike—for his vocals.
“I wish say Wike dey do music. I hear something in his vocals. I’m not joking.”
It wasn’t satire. Odumodublvck was dead serious—and fans are eating it up.
From Cabinet Meetings to Concert Vibes
Wike isn’t new to musical flair. As former Governor of Rivers State and now Federal Capital Territory Minister, he’s gained a reputation for infusing events with live highlife performances and streetwise catchphrases. His favorite band now follows him to Abuja, where they perform during official ceremonies.
Phrases like “As E Dey Sweet Us”, “Biggie Man”, and “Agreement Is Agreement” have become unofficial soundtracks to Wike’s political presence—and viral memes online.
Just recently, at the commissioning of a road project in Katampe, Wike publicly raised the band’s salary mid-event. Cue applause… and more music.
Odumodublvck Sees a Star
Odumodublvck’s endorsement may have started in jest, but it resonated with many. Some fans joked about a possible collab, others imagined a surprise Wike mixtape. All agreed on one thing: the man knows how to hold a note—and a crowd.
Politics Meets Pop Culture
In an era where public figures are breaking out of their boxes, Wike’s musical flair might not just be entertaining—it could become a political branding weapon. After all, in Nigerian politics, vibes matter.
Bottom Line:
Whether or not he drops a debut single, Nyesom Wike just got a co-sign from one of Nigeria’s hottest rappers. And in today’s culture-driven landscape, that might be more powerful than a press conference.
