Odumodublvck's Harrowing Revelation: Near-Fatal Tonsil Surgery Almost Ended His Career

Nigerian rap sensation Odumodublvck, known for his powerful voice and groundbreaking tracks, recently revealed a terrifying, life-threatening experience that nearly cut his career short: a near-fatal tonsillectomy.

The artist, whose real name is Tochukwu Ojogwu, shared the harrowing details of the surgery, which took place around the time his smash hit single "Declan Rice" was released. What should have been a routine 20- to 30-minute procedure unexpectedly stretched to a perilous five hours.

Odumodublvck recounted that the surgeon, during the challenging operation, admitted he had to call for help something he hadn't done in 12 years of performing the surgery. According to the rapper, the assisting surgeon who was an hour away but arrived miraculously fast "came like an angel and went."

Following the intense, extended procedure, the artist was discharged but remained convinced he wouldn't survive, telling his 71-year-old mother, "I'm not going to make it."

This terrifying ordeal highlights the severe risks, though rare, associated with even common surgical procedures like a tonsillectomy, which can occasionally lead to complications like extensive bleeding or issues with the airway.

This revelation adds a profound, emotional layer to the success of "Declan Rice" and Odumodublvck's subsequent rise. It underscores the immense personal struggle he overcame even as his career was taking off. The fact that he pushed through this health crisis to become one of the most talked-about artists in the Nigerian music scene is a testament to his resilience and dedication to his craft.
