Odumodublvck fumes as X user calls him ‘woman abuser’
Odumodublvck, the Nigerian rapper, has fired back at an X user who accused him of being a woman abuser.
There have been speculations on social media that the artiste and Onyeka, the BBNaija season nine housemate, once dated.
This was after he expressed support for the reality star and her sister on his social media pages.
In a now-deleted post, an X user questioned why fans were “hyping Onyeka for being Odumodu’s ex”. The user also argued that the rapper is also a “woman abuser”.
“Can’t believe you guys are hyping Onyeka being Odumodu’s ex. Someone that is an abuser, eii,” the post reads.
In his reaction via X (formerly Twitter), the ‘Declan Rice’ hitmaker denied the allegation, saying he is neither a “misogynist nor an abuser”.
TIME AND TIME AGAIN I LET YOU GUYS DRAG MY NAME IN THE MUD FOR THINGS THAT ARE UNTRUE BUT NOT TODAY.
— INDUSTRY MACHINE (@Odumodublvck_) August 24, 2024
YOU CANNOT WAKE UP AND CALL ME NAMES BECAUSE IT SUITS YOUR NARRATIVE. AN ABUSER? YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR.
He also said he has “never laid his hands on any lady” while listing some women he has featured and worked with.
The 30-year-old added that he had to address the claims because of his “mother and family”.
“Time and time again I let you guys drag my name in the mud for things that are untrue, but not today. You cannot wake up and call me names because it suits your narrative. An abuser? You have gone too far,” he wrote.
“There is not one girl in this entire world, dead or alive, that can say ‘Odumodu laid his hands on me’ or, more popularly, say I was misogynistic towards them. Except the ones who want to drive their agenda, that I have let slide up until today.
“I featured Bloody Civilian, Tiwa Savage, Smur Lee, Amaarae, etc. My project managers na hardworking babes. Today, one babe came on here to say I am an abuser. She is the last one with a face that I will let slide.
“I will not take that. Not because I care about what the majority of you here think about me, but for the people that actually matter: my mother, my family, my fans.
“It is rubbish, and since you people don’t know where to draw the line, today we will draw it. He or she who has ears, let them hear. An eye for an eye. Peace and love.”

Mercy Johnson under fire for campaigning for APC’s Okpebholo
Mercy Johnson-Okojie, the Nollywood actress, has been criticised on social media for campaigning for Monday Okpebholo, the All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate in the upcoming Edo election.
A now-viral video shows Mercy soliciting votes for Okpebholo at a rally. She also assured the crowd that the APC gubernatorial candidate will “bring positive changes” to the state.
“Are you not tired? No light, water, healthcare, security and good roads. If you will vote for senator Monday, raise your hand,” she said.
“…So when you get to that field early in the morning, vote for Monday, vote for APC, vote for the broom.”

The video has triggered backlash on social media with critics slamming the actress for supporting the ruling party despite widespread economic hardship.
“Mercy Johnson is just a cheap opportunistic agbero with zero class and zero morality in my opinion. Imagine supporting blabbing Tinubu and now also supporting Illiterate Monday Okpebholo of all people. Talent is really not enough,” an X user wrote.

Justin Timberlake sentenced to community service for drink-driving offence
Pop star Justin Timberlake was sentenced to community service on Friday after pleading guilty to a drink-driving charge, according to US media reports.
The 43-year-old was arrested on 18 June in Sag Harbor, approximately 100 miles east of New York City, after police observed his BMW running a stop sign and swerving between lanes.
In August, Timberlake pleaded not guilty to driving while intoxicated during a virtual court appearance before a judge, who ordered the suspension of his driver’s licence in New York state, US media reported.
However, Sag Harbor Village Justice Court justice Carl Irace later handed Timberlake a community service sentence and ordered the star to make a public statement after he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of driving while alcohol-impaired, The New York Post reported.
The officer who pulled over the “Cry Me a River” singer said Timberlake was in no fit state to drive.
“His eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odour of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, his speech was slow, he was unsteady on his feet, and he performed poorly on all standardised field sobriety tests,” the police report stated.

Patoranking’s sister and husband die in gas explosion, leaving 3-year-old son
The Police Command in Ebonyi, says the explosion that claimed the lives of a couple, Mr and Mrs George Onuabuchi in Abakaliki, Ebonyi’s capital was from a gas cylinder and not from an inverter battery.
DSP Joshua Ukandu, spokesman of the Command in the state told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on Thursday that the incident occurred on August 25. Ukandu said that a preliminary investigation showed that the couple died from a gas explosion.
“It happened on the waterworks axis in Abakaliki on August 25. The residents living around the scene called the attention of our personnel who visited the place but the couple has already been taken to hospital.
“It’s very unfortunate that both finally died. The wife, Chioma died sometime in August while the husband died this month, September.
“We gathered that the wife was a younger sister to the popular Nigerian Afrobeat singer, Patoranking.
“There are no much details because the victims could not survive to tell the story. So, what killed them was gas and not inverter explosion,” the police spokesman explained.
Also speaking with NAN one of the relatives who refused to mention his name described the incident as bad for the family.
“They were young couple. They had only a child, a three-year-old son.
“Please I have more to say. I cannot say more than this. They have gone,” the relative said.
