Odumodublvck and Rick Ross talk about possible collaborative albums.

Rap mogul Rick Ross of the United States has aroused fan interest by holding talks with Nigerian artist Odumodublvck over the prospect of working together on a joint album.

In February, Ross and Odumodublvck started talking when Ross mentioned how much he admired African musicians, specifically Odumodublvck and vocalist Portable. Through joint projects with African artists, Ross expressed his goal to highlight the potential on the continent.

During a Thursday, March 7, 2024, Instagram live session with Odumodublvck, Ross expressed his excitement about releasing an album together and reaffirmed his desire to collaborate with the Nigerian rapper. Ross stated unequivocally that he wants to provide Odumodublvck a stage on which to display his abilities.

“So tell me one thing. When do we do this album I want this album out. I want to let my real n**a shine. What do you think are the possibilities,” he said. Odumodublvck replied, “I am a Christian and the Bible said what the Lord is set to do, eyes have not seen, ears have not heard, mouths cannot speak of the possibilities”.

During their conversation, Ross asked Odumodublvck to name three Nigerian artists who have inspired him. The Declan Rice hitmaker listed Burna Boy, 2Baba, Davido, and the late Afrobeat icon Fela Kuti, whom he affectionately referred to as “our pastor on the street.”

“Give me three Nigerian artistes that inspire you being a young singer coming up. So when I sit back and listen to your music tonight I want to go back to your root and show three Nigerian artistes that really influence you coming up,” Ross asked.

“He is not old but I listen to Burna Boy coming up. Davido? That is the real ni**a. That is my brother. Everybody listens to Fela. Fela is like our pastor. Pastor to the streets. Finally, I go for 2face Idibia. Check for 2face Idibia. The first guy to have broken out. He sang the African Queen,” Odumodublvck replied.

In response to Odumodublvck’s choices, Ross promised to link up with him during his North American tour with Shallipopi. Additionally, Ross advised the young singer to remain dedicated to his craft and to continue empowering his team and family through his music career.

The exchange between Ross and Odumodublvck has generated excitement within the music industry, with fans eagerly anticipating the potential collaboration between the American rap icon and the rising Nigerian talent.

As discussions continue, both artists remain committed to exploring the possibilities of creating music that transcends borders and celebrates cultural diversity.
