Hip-hop heavyweight Odumodublvck had the spotlight beaming a little brighter on Tuesday — not just for bagging a major award, but for making a memorable entrance with his mother by his side.
The rapper, born Gbubemi Tochukwu Ojogwu, attended the 17th LEADERSHIP Conference and Awards held at the Old Banquet Hall of the State House, Abuja, where he was honoured with the coveted ‘Artiste of the Year’ title.
But what truly touched hearts was the heartfelt moment between The Industry Machine and his mum, who joined him on stage to receive the award. The duo’s presence turned heads and sparked admiration from guests, offering a touching glimpse into the family support behind his growing success.
This year’s event gathered Nigeria’s political, business, and creative elites to celebrate individuals and institutions making meaningful impact across the country.
Odumodublvck’s rise has been nothing short of phenomenal. Famed for his gritty flow and masterful fusion of hip-hop with indigenous Nigerian elements, he’s carved out a distinct lane for himself — becoming one of the most talked-about artists of 2024.
Organised annually by the LEADERSHIP Newspapers Group, the LEADERSHIP Awards celebrate trailblazers in public service, entrepreneurship, entertainment, and innovation. Odumodublvck’s win reaffirms his position not only as a musical force, but as a cultural voice of the moment.
With his mother standing proudly beside him, this win wasn’t just about music — it was about legacy, family, and everything that fuels greatness.
