Afrobeats sensation Odumodublvck, known for his bold and unapologetic lyrics, is now living out one of his own punchlines. In his hit song “Industry Machine”, he raps, “They been dey find me for court all along.” Ironically, that lyric has now materialised as the rapper faces a formal court summons in Abuja.
According to reports first published by The Cable Lifestyle, the case stems from a complaint of alleged criminal intimidation filed by Olayinka Osagie Onobun, Head of Artists and Repertoire (A&R) at Chocolate City Music. The petition accuses the rapper, whose real name is Tochukwu Ojogwu, of using social media posts on X (formerly Twitter) “to cause fear” and “threaten injury” to Onobun.
Presiding Magistrate Farida Ibrahim of the Chief Magistrate Court, Abuja, issued the summons on November 3, directing Odumodublvck to appear in court on Thursday, November 6, 2025, to answer to the charges.
This latest case adds to the rapper’s growing list of legal troubles. He is already facing a separate civil lawsuit at the Abuja High Court, where he is accused of assault and property damage. The plaintiff, entertainer and photographer Levi Ogbogiri—popularly known as Kraziecent—claims Odumodublvck assaulted him during a public event in December 2024, damaging his iPhone 15 Pro Max. The civil hearing is slated for November 26, 2025.
Odumodublvck’s meteoric rise has been driven by his unfiltered “Big Kala” persona—a streetwise, anti-establishment character that has earned him both adoration and controversy. His authenticity and raw delivery have attracted major partnerships with Native Records and Def Jam, cementing his place among Nigeria’s most talked-about rappers.
However, his confrontational approach has also led to multiple feuds within the Nigerian hip-hop scene. He has had public clashes with Chocolate City rapper Blaqbonez and even criticised label co-founder and rap icon Jude “MI” Abaga. The tensions, initially confined to music and social media, have now escalated into a full-blown legal battle, signalling a serious turn in the rapper’s career.
Amid the mounting controversies, Odumodublvck recently took to X to share a statement addressing his followers. He denied being violent, insisting that his actions stem from a desire for truth and accountability.
“I have always stood for honesty and accountability. I’ve called out those I once respected because when it mattered most, they chose silence. That is not leadership. That is not character,” he wrote. “The matter has been addressed, and I have chosen not to revisit it. My focus now is on peace, closure, and moving forward.”
With two court appearances scheduled for November, Odumodublvck’s resolve to focus on peace will be tested not just in his music, but in Nigeria’s courtrooms.
