OdumoduBlvck, the Nigerian rapper known for his passion for football and music, has voiced strong support for Victor Osimhen amidst the controversy surrounding his absence from Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches and the alleged comments made by former Super Eagles coach Finidi George.
Osimhen, Nigeria’s captain who missed the qualifiers due to injury, reportedly faced criticism from Finidi, which prompted Osimhen to express his frustration in an Instagram live session. This incident has sparked public debate and criticism within Nigerian football circles.
OdumoduBlvck, also known as “Industry Machine,” took to social media to back Osimhen’s stance, emphasizing the captain’s importance to the national team.
In a post on X, he highlighted the exclusion of other key players like Ekong and the handling of Osimhen’s situation as disrespectful. He criticized the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) for what he perceives as hidden issues and called for transparency and accountability in football administration.
Known for incorporating football themes into his music, as seen in his popular track “Declan Rice,” named after a prominent footballer, OdumoduBlvck’s support for Osimhen underscores his engagement with football beyond the pitch, using his platform to advocate for fairness and respect in Nigerian football.
His commentary reflects broader sentiments within the Nigerian public regarding accountability and transparency in sports governance.
