Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck has shared details of his past struggle with drug abuse, disclosing how he almost lost his life to an overdose while studying at the University of Lagos.
The artist, known for his several hits spoke about the experience on the Tea With Tay podcast. He explained that during his time at the university, he regularly consumed illicit substances until one episode nearly proved fatal.
“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 drugs once before quitting,” he said.
Odumodublvck added that he was grateful to have survived the ordeal, noting that not everyone who experimented with drugs managed to recover.
He also highlighted the dangers of substance abuse, citing cases of people who lost their lives or loved ones to drug-related complications.
“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 had lost people to it like they died because of drug abuse.
Some even committed suicide due to drug overdose. I’ve seen a pregnant woman and her husband battling drug addiction. It’s really terrible,” he stated.
The rapper urged young people to avoid illicit substances, warning of the devastating effects of drug addiction.
