Why I hailed Davido over “Dele na my boy” lyrics – Odumodublvck
Nigerian hip-hop artist Odumodublvck has revealed why he praised superstar singer Davido for his cutting lyrics directed at media mogul Dele Momodu.
The praise stems from Davido’s 2016 remix of Humblesmith’s “Osinachi,” where he took a jab at Momodu with the lines, ‘Mr Dele na my boy, Dele na my boy,’ during a period of conflict between the two.
In a recent Twitter post on December 11, Odumodublvck recalled the lyrics, describing them as one of the ‘hardest’ he had ever heard. Despite the insulting nature of the lyrics, he commended Davido for the cleverness and impact of the lines, going so far as to playfully refer to him as a “fool” for crafting such a simple yet effective insult within a song.
He wrote, “MR DELE NA MY BOY DELE NA MY BOY IS ONE OF THE HARDEST LYRIC I HAVE EVER HEARDDDDD
@davido YOU BE FOOOOOL 😂😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😭😭😭😭 SO SIMPLE BUT HARDDD”
MR DELE NA MY BOY
DELE NA MY BOY
IS ONE OF THE HARDEST LYRIC I HAVE EVER HEARDDDDD @davido YOU BE FOOOOOL 😂😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😭😭😭😭
SO SIMPLE BUT HARDDD

Following his post about Davido’s lyrics, Odumodublvck faced criticism, with some interpreting his remarks as an attack on Davido, while others accused him of disrespecting Dele Momodu.
In response to the backlash, Odumodublvck clarified that his intention was not to show disrespect to the Ovation Magazine boss.
He explained that he simply shared his thoughts about the song because the lyrics spontaneously came to his mind, emphasizing that there was no ill will or disrespect intended towards either Davido or Dele Momodu.
“I DONT EVEN MEAN ANY DISRESPECT TO MR DELE BUT THAT DAVID LYRIC JUST HIT ME NOW 🔥🔥🔥” the rapper tweeted.
