“Call Your Mama ‘Senior Man’ Then!” – Odumodublvck Fires Back at Follower Who Criticized Him for Saying 'Mommy'

Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck is not one to let criticism slide, and he proved that yet again after a follower attempted to shame him for still referring to his mother as “mommy.” What started as a seemingly lighthearted tweet from a user quickly escalated into a viral exchange that had social media buzzing, with fans and critics of the artist taking sides on what should be a harmless term of endearment.

The fire was lit when Twitter user @BiiggS took to the platform to express unsolicited disapproval of the rapper’s choice of words, tweeting:

“Calling your mama mommy at age 40 is a red flag.”

What seemed like a random post aimed at cultural commentary quickly turned personal when it caught the attention of the “Declan Rice” crooner himself. Not one to mince words or water down his personality for the internet, Odumodublvck responded with the full force of his signature bravado:

“WHEN YOU REACH 40 CALL YOUR MAMA SENIOR MAN. MUMU.”

The tweet, written in caps lock and closed with a dismissive “MUMU” (a Nigerian Pidgin term for ‘fool’), instantly drew a reaction. Some applauded Odumodublvck’s clapback, while others questioned why a grown man would be so defensive about such a small detail. However, for those familiar with the rapper’s gritty, authentic, and unapologetically Nigerian persona, this reaction was entirely on-brand.

As the drama unfolded, thousands weighed in across social media platforms, triggering debates on whether using the word “mommy” as an adult is embarrassing or simply a matter of personal or cultural preference. While some agreed with the original post, suggesting that adult men should upgrade their vocabulary to reflect maturity, others stood firmly with Odumodublvck, stating that the bond with one’s mother isn’t dictated by societal timelines or linguistic expectations.

“So because Twitter wants to trend, I should now call my mother ‘Madam’?” one supporter tweeted in defense of the rapper.

“Love is love. If calling her ‘mommy’ is how he shows affection, what’s your business?” added another.

This isn’t the first time Odumodublvck has found himself at the center of online controversy. Known for blending raw street energy with a unique alternative rap style, the Abuja-based artist has cultivated a fan base that values authenticity over polish. He frequently speaks about loyalty to his roots, respect for family, and the challenges of being a trailblazer in a space that often boxes artists into stereotypical molds. So when a stranger on the internet tried to weaponize affection into shame, his backlash was expected.

The broader conversation that this moment sparked touches on the Nigerian culture’s complex relationship with emotional expression—especially among men. In a society that often values toughness and stoicism, showing vulnerability or tender affection, even toward one’s own parents, is sometimes mocked. For many Nigerians, especially from the older generation, the idea that a grown man would openly call his mother “mommy” might seem infantile. But younger generations, influenced by global perspectives and more progressive takes on masculinity, are rejecting these rigid standards.

Odumodublvck's fiery retort might have sounded aggressive, but at its core was a refusal to be shamed for loving his mother in his own language. And that's a powerful statement in a world where men are often punished for emotional transparency.

Another layer to the conversation is the Twitter culture of fishing for clout. Critics and trolls frequently bait celebrities with outrageous or judgmental statements just to trigger a response and gain attention. In this case, @BiiggS, the originator of the critique, seemed to disappear into the digital crowd after the backlash intensified, offering no further commentary as Odumodublvck’s fans came out in droves to defend their favorite.

Some even turned the whole episode into comedy, mocking the idea of replacing warm maternal titles with impersonal alternatives. Memes began circulating with captions like “Good morning, General Overseer Mum” and “Happy birthday, Distinguished Senator Mother,” poking fun at the absurdity of pressuring people to change affectionate terms to fit a certain age.

Whether one agrees with Odumodublvck’s response or not, one thing remains certain—the rapper is fiercely unapologetic about who he is and what he values. He is part of a generation of Nigerian artists who are actively redefining what it means to be expressive, manly, and rooted in one’s background.

As the tweets continue to trend and screenshots make their rounds on gossip blogs and fan pages, the lesson is clear: sometimes, standing firm in your truth, no matter how small it may seem, is a powerful act of resistance. In a world where everyone wants to dictate how others should live, love, and even speak, Odumodublvck chose to clap back loudly, proudly, and on his own terms.

And perhaps that’s what endeared him even more to his supporters. It wasn’t just about calling his mum “mommy”—it was about refusing to let the internet bully people out of tenderness. It was about saying, “I’m a grown man, and I still love my mum like I did when I was five. Deal with it.”

In an era where trolls crave attention and artists often stay silent to maintain a squeaky-clean image, Odumodublvck reminded everyone that there’s strength in sentimentality and no shame in showing love—even loudly, even at 40, and even if that love sounds like “mommy.”
