Arsenal title win means more to me than Grammy, says rapper Odumodublvck

Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu, known as Odumodublvck, has declared his fervent support for Arsenal, stating that winning the Premier League title with the club would be more meaningful to him than receiving a Grammy Award.

“

When we lost to Manchester City, I saw Eze the next day when we were doing a New Balance commercial and he told me we’re gonna win the league and I said yes, I believe.

In a viral interview with DJ Semtex, Odumodublvck recounted his emotional reaction to Arsenal's title challenge. He shared a conversation with Super Eagles midfielder Eberechi Eze, who assured him of Arsenal's eventual victory after a tough match against Manchester City. "When we lost to Manchester City, I saw Eze the next day... and he told me we’re gonna win the league and I said yes, I believe," Odumodublvck said.

“

So stuff like that for me, winning the league was everything.

The rapper, a self-proclaimed Arsenal fan, elaborated on his preference, even posing a hypothetical scenario. "If you gave me the opportunity to win a Grammy Award or... win that Premier League, I would have chosen that Premier League. Take it to the bank," he stated. He further emphasized this by referencing a controversial defeat to West Ham, saying he would choose to have that goal canceled to secure the league title over winning a Grammy.

“

If you gave me the opportunity to win a Grammy Award or, let’s ask now, win that Premier League, I would have chosen that Premier League. Take it to the bank.

Odumodublvck's comments highlight the profound connection between football and Nigerian popular culture. His mention of Eze, an England-born player representing Nigeria internationally, underscores the significant influence of footballers within the country. For Odumodublvck, however, the ultimate prize remains an Arsenal Premier League title.

“

If I had the chance to win a Grammy Award, yeah, say this is a Grammy Award, and they say let that West Ham goal count or whatever, let them cancel that West Ham goal for us now to win the league, which one will you pick? I would pick that league ahead of the Grammy Award.
