Afrobeats superstar Davido has weighed in on the ongoing rift between rappers Blaqbonez and Odumodublvck, urging reconciliation and offering a simple piece of advice: “Just call him.”
The Grammy-nominated artist shared his thoughts during an Instagram Live session late Tuesday, where fans had brought up the simmering tension between the two rising hip-hop stars. Davido, known for his diplomatic approach within the music industry, stressed the importance of unity and direct communication.
“Blaqbonez, my brother, just pick up the phone. Call Odumodu. Life’s too short for beef,” Davido said. “This industry is small — we need each other more than we know.”
The feud between Blaqbonez and Odumodublvck has sparked waves across Nigerian music circles in recent weeks, fueled by cryptic tweets, indirect diss tracks, and cancelled joint appearances. While neither artist has publicly detailed the root cause, fans speculate it stems from competition over dominance in Nigeria’s new wave hip-hop scene.
Davido’s comments have since gone viral, with fans praising his maturity and role as a unifying figure in the industry. The DMW boss has a long history of settling disputes among artists and has often served as a bridge between Afrobeats and Nigeria’s fast-growing alté and hip-hop scenes.
“Davido’s advice is timely,” said music analyst Dayo Ojo. “He understands the value of collaboration over conflict, especially in an era where global attention is on Nigerian talent.”
Neither Blaqbonez nor Odumodublvck has officially responded to Davido’s call for peace, but social media timelines suggest that fans on both sides are hopeful for a truce — and perhaps even a collaboration.
As anticipation builds, one thing is clear: the spotlight isn’t just on their music anymore, but on how they choose to handle the pressure of fame and rivalry.
