Erigga Speaks on Odumodublvck–Blaqbonez Feud: “Beef Brings Traction, But It Doesn’t Help the Culture”
Nigerian rapper Erigga has weighed in on the ongoing rift between hip-hop stars Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez, sharing a candid perspective on how their back-and-forth might be doing more harm than good to the rap scene.
During an interview on Yanga 89.9 FM, which surfaced online on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, the rapper from Warri explained that while public feuds often create buzz, they rarely contribute to the long-term growth of the hip-hop community.
“Beef brings traction, but it doesn’t help the culture,” Erigga said frankly.
According to him, many fans engage in rap beefs for entertainment rather than genuine interest in the art form.
“The room now is somehow, not because they love hip-hop, but because they love seeing two people go at each other,” he added.
Erigga pointed out that fans are usually loud when artists clash but go silent when there are positive strides worth celebrating in the industry.
The rapper, known for his street wisdom and raw lyrical style, clarified that his opinion wasn’t personal or biased.
“Odumodu is not my guy, Black is not my guy,” he stated, emphasizing that his stance comes from an objective concern for the culture rather than allegiance to either camp.
Erigga concluded by calling for a more meaningful approach to growing the Nigerian hip-hop ecosystem.
“To understand this genre, this fight… it runs deeper than lyrics and wax,” he remarked thoughtfully.
The Odumodublvck–Blaqbonez feud has dominated social media in recent weeks, sparking debates among fans and insiders over whether rap rivalries fuel creativity or simply fracture the culture.
