Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck has come under intense scrutiny following his recent comments regarding the clothing choices of female artists Tems and Ayra Starr.
In a recent interview, Odumodublvck made the controversial claim that the two singers deliberately wear oversized clothing to the studio as a strategy to avoid being sexualized and objectified by industry professionals. He alleged that many individuals in the music industry, particularly producers, often make unwanted advances towards female artists, creating a toxic and challenging work environment.
Odumodublvck specifically mentioned Tems, saying, “Tems has to wear big clothes to studios because everybody wants to f** her. She would want to make a hit and still has to think about how to make the producer not like her.”
His comments have sparked significant backlash, with many accusing him of being insensitive and reinforcing harmful stereotypes. Critics argue that Odumodublvck’s remarks shift the responsibility onto female artists to protect themselves from objectification, rather than addressing the root cause—the pervasive sexism and misogyny within the music industry.
The controversy has ignited a broader conversation about the treatment of women in the entertainment industry and the need for a cultural shift to address gender inequality and harassment.
