Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) page, the "Wotowoto Seasoning" hitmaker urged aspiring musicians to exercise extreme caution when approached with advance payments from record labels. He emphasized the critical need for patience and diligent hard work, advising them to prioritize the development of their musical abilities until they are truly prepared for such commitments.
OdumoduBlvck's advice was direct and unequivocal: "Dear upcoming artist, if you know your music is not ripe, stay away from an advance. You do not want to be owing an organisation so much money. You will die a debtor, please heed to my advice. Be patience and work hard till you are ready, please."
He wrote, "Are you sure you really want to do this music business? You must be very sure oooo."
The warnings from both established artists highlight the potential pitfalls and complexities that young musicians can face when navigating the early stages of their careers and interacting with the business side of the music industry. Their advice underscores the importance of self-awareness, patience, and a strong understanding of contractual obligations.
OdumoduBlvck's recent Headies win for Next Rated was accompanied by a heartfelt acceptance speech where he shared the story of his mother giving birth to him later in life and her unwavering belief in his potential.
He dedicated the prestigious award to his mother, acknowledging their special bond. This personal anecdote adds further weight to his advice, positioning him not only as a successful artist but also as someone who understands the journey and the importance of making sound decisions along the way.
