Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck, is back in the news with his recent declarations
Following Pastor Enoch Adeboye’s recent appeal for church members to donate in “billions” towards RCCG projects, the internet went ablaze with mixed opinions.
While some questioned the request, Odumodublvck came out swinging in favour of the appeal.
In a post on his X (formerly Twitter) page, the rapper said if he had ₦1bn, he would gladly hand it over to RCCG without hesitation.

According to him, giving to the church is not about pressure but about personal conviction.
He wrote:
“It is not by force to serve the Lord; they did not say that if you do not drop ₦1bn, you will not enter heaven. As for me and my household, we will continue to support the work of Christ shamelessly"
The rapper also noted that donations keep the church running in practical ways that many critics overlook.

As usual, Odumodu's comment has generated mixed reactions from tweeps
@applephilia:
"Folks who cannot give to the poor around them would sooner give billions to churches, thinking they are giving to God, you guys are kidding me"
@Saodami1:
"Your choice is valid, your opinion is yours. I also agree with this, I will give to the house of the Lord for as long as I can, as it is my own way of giving back in faith."
@Dutchman_Miller
"This one na industry dunce normally, anybody that expects anything sensible from this big-faced douche will remain a monumental moron until the end of time, foolish like your whack music."
@thebigdammy:
"Supporting the work of Christ is good, but that money would do much better to people that are actually very poor on the streets Please feed the hungry, help the poor and Cater for the homeless."
@unlcetalkytalky:
"Neither did they say if you drop 1B you will enter heaven. You actually dull because if you read your Bible false prophets are also part of the scriptures you're talking about fulfilling. There will never be a justification for a pastor asking for 1B in a sh*thole country."
@Blacqskinz:
"Thank you ODUMODUBLVCK, the work of thy lord is not by force, nobody is forcing anybody to do or contribute to the work, if I have billions I will contribute without doubt."

Odumodu warns artists about Lagos
Legit.ng earlier reported that Odumodublvck issued a blunt warning to upcoming artists, saying Lagos might not be the dream city they imagine.
The Abuja-based musician took to his X handle to describe Nigeria's most populated city as “the worst place for a young artist to grow,”.
He insisted that the city’s music culture turns people into “greedy, selfish, and self-centered packaged beasts.”
