Chocolate City, a record label, has initiated a lawsuit against Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck, in a separate case worth ₦50 million in damages. The suit alleges that Odumodublvck assaulted one of Chocolate City's employees during the 2025 Flytime Festival in Lagos.
Separate Lawsuit Filed Over Flytime Festival Incident
According to court documents, the incident occurred on December 22, 2025, backstage at the Eko Convention Centre while the employee was carrying out official duties for a Chocolate City artiste scheduled to perform at the event. The employee, who has not been named, alleges that Odumodublvck approached him and asked whether he or his brother worked for Chocolate City. He claims that moments later, Odumodublvck allegedly struck him in the face without warning or provocation.
The court filing further alleges that although security personnel intervened in an attempt to calm the situation, the rapper continued making threats, including statements that he would "end" the claimant. The suit also accuses one of the rapper's associates, identified as "Shagba," of pouring an alcoholic drink on the claimant during the confrontation.
Employee Seeks Compensation for Medical Expenses and Lost Income
The employee claims that the alleged assault left him with facial and neck pain, swelling, persistent headaches, general body pain, and psychological trauma. He was treated at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), where doctors advised him to suspend work and observe strict rest during his recovery. The employee is seeking compensation for financial losses allegedly resulting from the incident, including ₦2 million on medical treatment, ₦1 million on additional healthcare-related expenses, and ₦1.5 million on other out-of-pocket costs.
He further claims that his injuries prevented him from honouring several professional commitments during the festive period, including an overseas engagement with a Chocolate City artiste, leading to missed income and career opportunities. The employee is asking the court to award ₦50 million in damages, which he says reflects lost earnings, delayed project deliverables, reduced productivity, and missed business opportunities.
Chocolate City Reiterates Commitment to Supporting Employee
Chocolate City has reiterated that it remains committed to supporting its employee and pursuing the matter through the legal system. In a statement, the company confirmed that legal proceedings had commenced, describing the matter as one it is taking seriously. The company also reaffirmed its commitment to allowing the courts to determine the matter. This lawsuit comes right after BlaqBonez filed a separate suit against the rapper. Odumodublvck has not commented on this yet.
