Nigerian rapper, singer and songwriter, Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu, better known as Odumodublvck, has disclosed that he abused illicit drugs while studying at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) and almost died of overdose on one occasion.
He made this known recently while featuring as a guest on the latest episode of the Tea With Tay podcast.
According to the ‘Pity The Boy’ crooner, things got really bad at some point and he had to call his mother to book a flight for him to return to Abuja while battling with the overdose.
He, however, added that after that incident, he only indulged in illicit drugs once before quitting.

Speaking during the interview, Odumodublvck said, “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 further said he was grateful to God because not everyone who indulged in drug abuse are privileged to give up the addiction.
Warning of the dangers of drug abuse, he urged young people to shun illicit substance consumption.
“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 added.
