Odumodu Blvck opens up on love, marriage and money, and why he wants his wife to outlive him and take care of their kids. Here’s the softer side of OD.
Odumodu Blvck is known for his loud, fearless energy. So hearing him say he wants his future wife to outlive him? That caught a lot of people off guard.
On the In Motion podcast, the rapper talked about love, marriage and how he handles money. His main point is that if one of them has to go first, it should be him.
OD says he’s a Christian, and that’s where his idea of marriage comes from. He pointed to the Bible’s teaching that husbands should love their wives the way Christ loved the church.
Christ died for the church, so for OD, a man must be ready to sacrifice for his family.
His prayer is simple: “I pray that my wife lives longer than me.” He also says his wife would be younger than him, so why should she go first? It just doesn’t make sense to him.
He even thought about what comes after. When he’s gone, he wants his wife to take over everything and pass it on to their children, so nobody has any wahala. He believes she’d also carry on whatever he started, especially raising the kids. After all, a mother is a child’s first teacher.
Then came the funny part. OD admits he’s not great with money. His mum loves giving, he says, and he picked up the habit. He gives money out so easily that his girlfriend now keeps it for him.
He also used chess to explain how he sees women. According to him, “the strongest piece is the queen.” The message is to love a woman properly and put her where she belongs.
There’s one thing that really bothers him, though. “They think I’m an insurgent, and it bothers me a lot,” he said.
You can see why he might feel that way. These comments come not long after his very public fallout with fellow rapper Blaqbonez over a woman. So hearing him talk about protecting and prioritising his wife hits differently.
Whether you’re fully convinced or not, it’s a refreshing change from the loud persona we usually see. Maybe the man behind it is a lot softer than we thought.
