Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck is facing heavy criticism online after making comments about Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr, who lost the 2024 Ballon d’Or award to Manchester City’s Spanish midfielder, Rodri.
The Ballon d’Or award, announced on October 28, surprised fans when Rodri emerged as the winner, despite support for Vinicius from fans and football experts. The news quickly spread on social media, including the award’s official X page.
Odumodublvck responded to the news with a video in which he sang “mumu” and “ewu,” Nigerian slang that some saw as directed at Vinicius Jr. His actions sparked a wave of reactions from Vinicius Jr’s fans and other football lovers, who criticized the rapper for seemingly mocking the Brazilian player.
Fans quickly defended Vinicius, saying he deserved the award more than Rodri and questioning Odumodublvck’s understanding of football. Some even commented that Vinicius’s football achievements far surpass the rapper’s music career.
In response to the backlash, Odumodublvck posted more comments, defending his right to his opinion.
