Odumodublvck
Nigerian rapper, Odumodublvck, has revealed how much the Gunners’ 2025/26 Premier League success meant to him, saying he would have chosen seeing Arsenal lift the trophy over winning a Grammy Award.
And considering the 22-year wait that preceded Arsenal’s return to the top of English football, the rapper’s choice says plenty about the depth of his attachment to the club.
Speaking on Capital XTRA, Odumodublvck looked back on the title race and recalled a conversation with Eberechi Eze following Arsenal’s defeat to Manchester City.
“When we lost to Manchester City, I saw Eze the next day when we were doing a New Balance commercial and he told me we were going to win the league and I said yes, I believe,” he said.
That belief eventually became reality.
Arsenal went on to end their 22-year wait for the Premier League title in the 2025/26 season, giving supporters a moment they had waited more than two decades to experience.
For Odumodublvck, the achievement was apparently worth more than anything he could win in his own profession.
“If you gave me the opportunity to win a Grammy Award or asked me to win that Premier League, I would have chosen that Premier League, take it to the bank,” he said.
The choice might sound extreme, but it fits the rapper’s long-standing relationship with Arsenal.
His support for the club has never been particularly difficult to spot. Arsenal references have found their way into his music and public persona, while his relationships with players have brought the worlds of Nigerian music and the Gunners even closer together.
His links with Eze and Bukayo Saka have been visible, but perhaps none has been more striking than his connection with Declan Rice.
Odumodublvck’s hit record Declan Rice became intertwined with the midfielder’s move to Arsenal and was famously used around the announcement of Rice’s signing, turning what began as a song into an unlikely soundtrack to one of the club’s biggest transfers.
So when Odumodublvck speaks about Arsenal, there is more behind it than the usual celebrity support.
There is history, personal relationships and, most importantly, the emotional investment of someone who has watched the club endure years of near misses before finally getting over the line.
That makes his Grammy comparison particularly revealing.
For an artist, a Grammy represents the highest level of recognition in music. But for Odumodublvck, watching Arsenal finally end their 22-year Premier League drought was a moment he would not trade for it.
After years of disappointment, the trophy finally arrived.
And for one of Arsenal’s most vocal celebrity supporters, it was worth more than gold at the Grammys.
