Many fans argued that Nigeria has had more culturally impactful rap songs in the past. They pointed to artists like M.I, Vector, and Mode 9, whose work shaped Nigerian hip hop. However, some fans defended Odumodublvck’s statement. They said he was talking about global reach, not just cultural influence in Nigeria.
Looking at the facts, Declan Rice did achieve a lot internationally. The song was used to unveil the footballer Declan Rice when he joined Arsenal in a record-breaking move. That moment alone brought the song massive attention from global audiences.
The rapper also gained recognition from international stars. Artists like Skepta, Rick Ross, Stormzy, and Nasty C showed support for him. These co-signs boosted his profile and helped take his music beyond Nigeria.
The success didn’t stop there. At the 2023 Headies Awards, Declan Rice won Rap Song of the Year. Odumodublvck also won Rookie of the Year. On top of that, he was nominated for Best International Flow at the BET Hip Hop Awards.
Whether people agree with his statement or not, one thing is clear—Declan Rice changed the game for Odumodublvck. The song became a major breakthrough and introduced his sound to the world.
