Nigerian rapper OdumoduBlvck has explained why he believes a man should be ready to die for his wife, linking his view of love to his Christian faith.
Speaking on the In Motion Podcast on October 2, he referred to the Bible’s teaching that husbands should love their wives as Christ loved the church.
“Any man wey talk say he no fit die for him woman na big fool,” OdumoduBlvck said. “Because me now I’m a Christian.”
The rapper said Christ’s death for the church makes him believe a man should be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for his wife. He also expects to die before his wife because she is younger and women generally live longer than men.
He said he wants his wife to continue what he started and care for their children after his death, joking that she would also have to share his belongings among them.
Using chess, OdumoduBlvck described the queen as the strongest piece on the board.
“If you don’t understand the concept of loving a woman, putting a woman where a woman is meant to be… if you look at chess, the strongest piece na queen,” he said.
He also credited his mother for making him generous, saying he struggles to keep money after watching her give freely, even giving away her own bed.
The rapper said being called a misogynist bothers him “a lot” because he sees the label as unfair.
