According to him, their gestures were born out of mutual respect and admiration for his relentless work ethic.
Odumodu stated:
“Davido and Wizkid are real men. Both of them know they are on my album, but they are there by the special grace of God and on the virtue of the respect they have for my hustle because I did not pay them a dime.”
Odumodu went on to disclose that Wizkid’s contribution to Industry Machine wasn’t just a feature; it was a full song the Essence crooner gifted him outright.
The singer declared:
“The song that Wizkid featured on is his song. He gave me the song. It was not recorded by me. Wizkid’s verse on my album is the greatest verse you have ever heard."

Odumodu chides junior colleague
Legit.ng earlier reported that the rapper issued a stern warning to budding artist Wavestar, who is closely affiliated with Blaqbonez, has set social media abuzz.
In the clip, which surfaced online on Monday, the “Declan Rice” crooner is seen confronting Wavestar at a recent event, expressing his displeasure over the latter’s failure to greet him.
According to Odumodu, such behaviour was disrespectful and unacceptable, especially from a junior in the industry.
