Odumodublvck: The Truth Behind Artist-Label Disputes
Rapper Odumodublvck has shared his perspective on the recurring conflicts between artists and record labels, challenging the popular notion that artists are always the victims in such disputes.
In an interview with Hip TV, Odumodublvck explained that many issues stem from personal differences between artists and label executives rather than systemic flaws within the industry. He emphasized that human factors often play a significant role in misunderstandings and conflicts.
“Everybody must be accountable. It’s not a record labels are bad situation… There are things artists don’t come out to say during this conflict,” he said in part.
The rapper cautioned against painting record labels as villains, pointing out that some artists develop difficult attitudes or make unreasonable demands after gaining fame. He reminded artists of the significant investments and efforts made by labels to shape their careers.

While calling for accountability from artists, Odumodublvck also acknowledged that record labels have their shortcomings, urging for a balanced and fair approach in addressing disputes within the music industry.
His remarks come amidst the ongoing controversy involving Dapper Music and its former signees, Shallipopi and Muyeeez. The artists terminated their contracts, citing allegations of financial mismanagement and unfair practices. Dapper Music has since denied these claims.
