Big Names, Big Hearts: How Wizkid and Davido’s Free Features Elevated Odumodublvck’s ‘Industry Machine’
In a remarkable display of industry solidarity, rising Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck has revealed the heartwarming story behind landing two of Afrobeats’ biggest stars on his latest album, completely free of charge.
The “Declan Rice” hitmaker dropped jaws during a recent interview when he disclosed that both Wizkid and Davido featured on his album “Industry Machine” without requesting a single naira. In an industry often driven by business deals and feature fees, this gesture stands out as a powerful testament to authentic artistic support.
“Davido and Wizkid are real men,” Odumodublvck shared, his voice filled with genuine appreciation. “Both of them know they are on my album, but they are there by the special grace of God and because of the respect they have for my hustle. I didn’t pay them a dime.”
But the generosity didn’t stop there. In what turned out to be an even bigger surprise, Wizkid went above and beyond by gifting Odumodublvck an entire song rather than just contributing a verse. “The song that Wizkid featured on is actually his song. He gave it to me. I didn’t even record it,” the rapper revealed, before boldly declaring, “Wizkid’s verse on my album is the greatest verse you’ve ever heard.”
The news has set social media ablaze, with fans celebrating this rare showing of unity among Nigerian music heavyweights. This collaboration not only highlights the evolving landscape of Nigerian music but also positions “Industry Machine” as a testament to Odumodublvck’s rising influence in the scene, where his fearless approach to blending rap with Afrobeats continues to push creative boundaries.
