Popular Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu, widely known as Odumodublvck, has revealed that seeing his beloved English club, Arsenal, win the Premier League title would mean far more to him than winning a Grammy Award.
The rapper made the declaration in a now-viral interview with DJ Semtex while reflecting on Arsenal’s intense title challenge and his deep-rooted passion for the London-based football club.
According to him, the thought of watching Arsenal lift the Premier League trophy holds a higher value to him than music’s ultimate individual recognition.
“If you gave me the opportunity to win a Grammy Award or, let’s ask now, win that Premier League, I would have chosen that Premier League. Take it to the bank,” he said.
Odumodublvck recalled a personal moment during the title race when the Gunners suffered a crucial defeat against Manchester City.
He shared how an encounter with Super Eagles midfielder Eberechi Eze gave him renewed hope after that disappointing match.
“When we lost to Manchester City, I saw Eze the next day when we were doing a New Balance commercial and he told me we’re gonna win the league and I said yes, I believe,” he said.
The artist stressed that the emotional high of a Premier League triumph is something he would gladly prioritize over any personal milestone in his music career.
“So stuff like that for me, winning the league was everything,” he stated.
Pressed to clarify his preference, Odumodublvck doubled down on his stance, referencing Arsenal’s controversial Premier League defeat to West Ham to emphasize his point.
“If I had the chance to win a Grammy Award, yeah, say this is a Grammy Award, and they say let that West Ham goal count or whatever, let them cancel that West Ham goal for us now to win the league, which one will you pick?” he asked.
He immediately answered his own question without hesitation, underscoring his unconditional loyalty to the club.
“I would pick that league ahead of the Grammy Award,” he said.
The rapper’s passion reflects the strong intersection between Nigerian pop culture and football, where global stars like Eze an England-born midfielder who represents Nigeria internationally bridge the gap between music, lifestyle, and sports fandom.
For Odumodublvck, the choice remains simple: a Premier League triumph for Arsenal is ultimate glory, even if it comes at the expense of music’s highest award.
