Fast rising pop artiste, Tochukwu Ojogwu aka Odumodublvck, has explained that relocating to Lagos will be difficult as he believes his mental health might be altered and largely affected.
The ‘Declan Rice’ crooner stated this while featuring on the Echoo Room podcast hosted by Quincy Jonze.
The Abuja-based singer said he prefers to stay in the slow, gentle and laid-back area where he is well-recognised.
He said,
“Let’s say a fish pond has 10 fishes in Lagos and there are a hundred fishermen; in Abuja, there are 10 fishes and there are five fishermen, if you are a fisherman, where would you go and cast your nets?
“With the help of the internet, you can connect with anybody. Now I’m in Lagos here na, I’m in Echoo Room na. I came from Abuja, I can go back tomorrow. It’s just funds. I’ll come here but to stay here and dabble in that pond, is not safe.
“It’s not safe for my brand. It’s not safe for my mental space. It’s not safe for my bank accounts. Because, if Wizkid dey do show, before him call me, he go first call Joeboy, Blaqbonez, Fireboy, Oxlade, Buju, Omah Lay. I can keep going on and on, before they get to Odumodu.
“But where we are in Abuja, if Skepta should come, if they don call three artists, dem no call me then dem never call any artist.”
