Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck, has stirred widespread debate with his bold statement that black-on-black injustice in Africa poses a greater problem than racism in America.
The rapper remarked during a recent interview with BET, where he reflected on the struggles faced by black people across the world.
Odumodublvck argued that while racism still exists in the United States, America has become a more enabling environment for black people compared to Africa, a continent he believes continues to be held back by internal injustices.

“We cannot deny the fact that America is now a better place for black people,” he said. “The things that black people have suffered in America are not compared to the things that black people have suffered in the hands of black people in Africa.”
However, others defended Odumodublvck’s perspective, arguing that he was highlighting an uncomfortable but important truth about the challenges within African societies.
Despite the controversy, Odumodublvck’s statement has sparked a larger conversation about accountability and self-reflection within African nations.
Known for his bold opinions and thought-provoking lyrics, Odumodublvck has built a reputation for addressing societal issues through his music. His latest comments reaffirm his willingness to challenge popular narratives, even when they attract controversy.
While opinions remain divided, the discussion he has sparked underscores an important point: the struggle for justice and equality among black people is not limited to one region or experience.
Whether in America or Africa, Odumodublvck’s comments remind listeners that true liberation requires both confronting external oppression and healing internal divisions.
