The long-running rift between Nigerian rappers Blaqbonez and Odumodublvck has escalated dramatically, moving from social media exchanges to the courtroom. Blaqbonez, whose real name is Emeka Akumefule, has initiated legal proceedings against his colleague Tochukwu Ojogwu, known professionally as Odumodublvck, demanding a staggering N2.55 billion in damages over alleged defamatory statements.
Legal Demand Details
In a letter dated July 7, 2026, issued through Punuka Attorneys & Solicitors, Blaqbonez accused Odumodublvck of embarking on what his legal team described as a sustained campaign of defamation, intimidation, and online harassment. The legal notice claims that Odumodublvck's repeated publications portraying Blaqbonez as a "sexual abuser" have exposed the rapper to public ridicule while negatively affecting his reputation and commercial opportunities.
The lawyers argued that the statements were false, malicious, and deliberately designed to damage the rapper's public image. Beyond financial compensation, Blaqbonez wants the court to compel Odumodublvck to remove all disputed posts, videos, and related content from his social media accounts. He is also demanding a full public apology to be published across Odumodublvck's verified social media pages and pinned for at least 30 consecutive days.
Additional Demands
In addition to the apology and removal of posts, the hip-hop artist wants his colleague to publicly caution his supporters against harassing, threatening, or intimidating him online. According to the legal notice, Odumodublvck has seven days to comply before further legal action begins.
The latest legal battle follows weeks of tension between both rappers. Odumodublvck had publicly alleged that certain individuals within the Nigerian music industry were protecting Blaqbonez from sexual abuse allegations. He also accused Chocolate City, Blaqbonez's record label, of making repeated attempts to have him arrested.
Public Reactions
Social media users have reacted to the lawsuit with skepticism. User @0zwxrt commented: "These law firms need to stop clowning themselves with all these rubbish lawsuits they file for their clients, everyone knows this is just not going to work, shey the blaqbonez himself worth 2B? na the firm wey agree to draft the suit i blame sha, na money dem dey after too so."
Another user, @vipXtweet4fun, wrote: "Even if odumodu black sell his music career Even if he gather all the money wey he don see for this life If e reach 2 billion make I bend Person wey en music video na low quality where he wan see 2 billion @BlaqBonez you mean this guy."
Background of the Feud
The feud between the two rappers has been ongoing for some time, with Odumodublvck previously making allegations about Blaqbonez being shielded by industry figures. The legal action marks a significant escalation, potentially setting a precedent for how defamation cases are handled in the Nigerian music industry.
Blaqbonez had earlier expressed frustration about the music industry, lamenting that Wizkid dropped a new track on the same day as his own release, which kept his song from getting the attention it deserved. He noted that he announced the date for his new song over a month ago.
