Odumodublvck Refuses to Settle Assault Case, Says He Wants His Day in Court

Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck says he has rejected his lawyers’ advice to settle an assault case, insisting that he wants to challenge the allegation in court. He argues that paying to resolve the dispute could be seen as an admission, and says he does not believe he did anything wrong. In comments reported about the case, the rapper compared his decision to Michael Jackson’s settlement of a civil lawsuit in 1993. Odumodublvck said he told his legal team he would not settle, invoking the high-profile case to explain why he believes an out-of-court agreement can leave a lasting impression even when it does not amount to a criminal conviction. Odumodublvck’s account of the dispute begins at his home. He says a man entered the property through a mutual friend and started recording him without permission. According to the rapper, he and his bouncer told the man to stop, but the filming continued. The rapper says he later encountered the same man at a party, where he alleges the visitor again brought out a camera. Odumodublvck says he confronted him on stage, but that the two eventually made peace, with the man dancing alongside him while continuing to record. He claims the disagreement took a new turn the following morning, when footage of the encounter appeared online. Odumodublvck says the man later brought an assault allegation against him in court. The man’s identity and his account of the events were not included in the report, so the claims described here remain the rapper’s version of the dispute. The case is pending, and no outcome is stated in the account. Odumodublvck’s public position is clear: he would rather contest the accusation than settle it. His decision puts the disagreement over recording and personal boundaries in the spotlight, while leaving the court to consider the allegation and the competing accounts.
