Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck (Tochukwu Ojogwu) has laid bare one of the most harrowing chapters of his life: a near-fatal battle with illicit drug addiction during his days at the University of Lagos. On the Tea With Tay podcast, the “Pity The Boy” crooner revealed that a single overdose turned everything upside down. He recounted:
“I was a very bright student while studying at the University of Lagos. But I was indulging in illicit drugs. One day, I took it and almost died. I called my mother to book my flight to return to Abuja. After that incident, I only took drug once before quitting.”
He expressed heartfelt gratitude for surviving the experience one many others battling addiction don’t get to share. He also sounded the alarm for young people, saying:
“I’m grateful because there are some people that went into that life [illicit substance consumption] and they didn’t make it out. Some people didn’t make it alive… Some even committed suicide due to drug overdose. I’ve seen a pregnant woman and her husband battling drug addiction. It’s really terrible!”
