Odumodublvck Blasts M.I Abaga, Calls Him a “Short Man Devil” — Says He No Longer Respects Him as a Legend
The internet is buzzing after Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck publicly called out veteran hip-hop icon M.I Abaga, accusing him of hypocrisy and fence-sitting amid his ongoing feud with Blaqbonez.
Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) handle, the Declan Rice crooner didn’t mince words as he aired his grievances. According to him, M.I knew about the alleged “conspiracy” against him but chose to remain neutral instead of speaking up.
Odumodublvck wrote:
“MI_Abaga, as for you, the whole world will be shocked that I am talking to you like this, and I know they will come for me because you are very good at portraying the ‘good guy.’
You stood in front of a blatant lie and decided to sit on the fence like Abuchi. I have lost every iota of respect for you.
Short man devil, you no be my OG. You are nothing but a rat. I bet you won’t reply because I am saying the truth.”
The post immediately sparked a wave of reactions, with many social media users slamming Odumodublvck for what they called “disrespect towards a legend.” Others, however, suggested that the rapper might be expressing frustration from a deeper, behind-the-scenes issue in Nigeria’s hip-hop circle.
As of now, M.I Abaga has remained silent — a move consistent with his calm, strategic personality in past controversies.
💭 Opinion: The Thin Line Between Boldness and Disrespect in Nigerian Hip-Hop
Odumodublvck has built a reputation for being raw, fearless, and unfiltered — traits that have fueled his rise in Nigeria’s rap scene. But his recent outburst against M.I Abaga raises a crucial question: when does honesty turn into disrespect?
There’s no doubt that hip-hop thrives on rivalry, ego, and expression. However, M.I isn’t just another rapper; he’s a pioneer who laid the foundation for many of today’s artists — including Odumodublvck himself. Publicly dragging him, even in the heat of emotion, risks crossing the line from bold expression to misplaced aggression.
In a genre where credibility is king, respect for those who paved the way still matters. Odumodublvck’s passion is undeniable, but his approach might alienate fans who revere M.I as a mentor figure and cultural icon.
At the same time, his frustration could also reflect a deeper generational divide — the new school’s demand for authenticity and accountability from the old guard.
Whatever the case, this episode reminds us that while the rap game thrives on fire, legacy deserves respect — even when the new voices are trying to redefine it.
