Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck has opened up about the major influence British-Nigerian rapper Skepta has had on his career and personal style. In a recent appearance on the Culli Podcast, Odumodublvck said his success story would not be complete without mentioning Skepta, whom he described as his biggest inspiration and role model in music and lifestyle.
The “Blood on the Dance Floor” crooner explained that Skepta’s guidance and mindset shaped not only his music but also his identity as an artist. He recalled how, at the early stage of his career, he could not afford flashy jewelry or designer outfits. Instead, Skepta’s simple and confident style inspired him to embrace authenticity. Odumodublvck said Skepta taught him that confidence does not come from appearance but from attitude and self-belief. He noted that all he needed to perform and feel good was “a clean tracksuit, a white T-shirt, and sneakers.”
Beyond fashion, Odumodublvck also highlighted Skepta’s philosophy of openness and collaboration. According to him, Skepta often says that when you learn something valuable, you should share it instead of keeping it to yourself because “the sky is big enough for everyone.” Odumodublvck said this mindset encouraged him to support upcoming artists and create opportunities for others in the industry.
He further praised Skepta as a true pioneer of modern rap, saying that his approach proved hip-hop could be powerful and expressive without promoting violence or negativity. For Odumodublvck, Skepta represents more than just music — he represents vision, discipline, and the courage to stand out in a world that often rewards conformity.
Odumodublvck’s tribute to Skepta offers a glimpse into how mentorship and influence continue to shape Nigeria’s growing hip-hop and Afrobeats scene.
