Rapper Odumodublvck dragged for shading footballer Vinicius Jr over Ballon d’Or loss to Rodri
Popular Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck whose full name is Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu has sparked an online uproar after he threw shade at Brazilian and Real Madrid football star Vinicius Jr over his loss to Spanish midfielder Rodri Cascante in the 2024 Ballon d’Or ranking.
The Ballon d’Or, which was held yesterday, October 28th, took an unexpected twist when Rodri, a Manchester City player, was announced as the winner instead of Vinicius Jr, who had been favored by fans and football lovers worldwide.
This announcement immediately trended on social media after it was shared on the award’s official X page.
Reacting to the post, Odumodublvck posted a video featuring him in the studio singing ‘mumu’, ‘ewu’ for Vinícius Júnior, after he also tweeted that he would continue to put in his best.
The rapper’s comment did not sit well with the fans of Vinicius Jr and other football enthusiasts, who immediately took to social media to call out Odumodublvck’s behavior and to defend the Brazilian player.
Many criticized Odumodublvck for “stepping out of his lane” as a musician and making unfavorable remarks about a celebrated athlete.
Some simply questioned his knowledge of football, claiming that Vinicius deserved a higher position than Rodri based on his performance and contributions to Real Madrid’s season.
They also berated Odumodu, saying that Vinicius’s football career is far better than his life.
As the backlash grew, Odumodublvck responded to critics with a series of posts defending his opinion, insisting he had the right to express his views on the ranking.
He went ahead to photoshop Vinicius with a meme and many fans called him a ‘Racist’.
