The 2023 Headies winner confirmed that the star-studded album will feature appearances from Davido, Skepta, and Stormzy, three of the biggest names from Nigeria and the UK. The project, which marks his third full-length LP in three years, promises to be a landmark moment in the Afrobeats and hip-hop crossover scene.
“The Industry Machine will feature Davido, Skepta, and Stormzy. It’s intense and will change a lot for us,” OdumoduBlvck declared during the interview.

OdumoduBlvck vs Blaqbonez: The Nigerian Rap Beef Shaking the Industry
While preparing to make history with his album, OdumoduBlvck is also amid a heated feud with fellow rapper Blaqbonez. The rift, which has grown louder on social media and in song lyrics, stems from Blaqbonez’s self-proclamation as “the best rapper in Africa”, a statement Odumodu considers disrespectful to veteran acts who laid the groundwork for Nigerian hip-hop.
The tension intensified when Blaqbonez featured on A-Q’s track “Who’s Rapping”, where he allegedly took jabs at OdumoduBlvck. The diss track has sparked fan calls for an all-out lyrical battle between the two artists, but Odumodu insists the beef runs deeper than music.
“It’s beyond the music. This is about respect, legacy, and the people who built this genre brick by brick,” he asserted.
As fans eagerly await The Industry Machine and the next chapter in the rap feud, one thing is clear: OdumoduBlvck is not just rapping for charts; he’s rapping for history.
