Odumodublvck, Rick Ross discuss possibility of joint album

Rick Ross, the American rapper, has engaged his Nigerian counterpart Odumodublvck on the possibility of a joint album.

In February, Ross expressed his admiration for African artistes including rapper Odumodublvck and singer Portable.

The US rapper also said he wants to bring more attention to Africa by doing a collaborative project with the continent’s artistes.

In a recent Instagram live session with Odumodublvck, Ross reiterated his commitment to work with the Nigerian rapper.

“So tell me one thing. When do we do this album I want this album out. I want to let my real n**a shine. What do you think are the possibilities,” he said.

Odumodublvck replied: “I am a Christian and the Bible said what the Lord is set to do, eyes have not seen, ears have not heard, mouths cannot speak of the possibilities”.

Ross also asked Odumodublvck to name the top Nigerian artistes who inspire him.

“Give me three Nigerian artistes that inspire you being a young singer coming up. So when I sit back and listen to your music tonight I want to go back to your root and show three Nigerian artistes that really influence you coming up,” Ross asked.

In his response, the ‘Declan Rice’ hitmaker listed Burna Boy, 2Baba, Davido, and the late Afrobeat icon Fela Kuti, who he called “our pastor on the street”.

“He is not old but I listen to Burna Boy coming up. Davido? That is the real ni**a. That is my brother. Everybody listens to Fela. Fela is like our pastor. Pastor to the streets. Finally, I go for 2face Idibia. Check for 2face Idibia. The first guy to have broken out. He sang the African Queen,” Odumodublvck replied.

Ross, 48, promised to link up with Odumodublvck during his North American tour with Shallipopi.

He also advised the 30-year-old singer to put more effort into his music to “empower your team and your family”.

“I want you to remember. Do not stop. Keep getting money. Always keep products for these guys to sell. That is how you empower your team, your family.”
