Rapper Odumodublvck has opened up about a life-threatening tonsil surgery that left him convinced he might not survive.
The artist, whose real name is Tochukwu Ojogwu, recounted the harrowing ordeal that unfolded around the release of his hit single “Declan Rice”.
“That’s so crazy Because I thought I was going to die. That’s so crazy When I dropped Declan rice, that’s when I did the surgery. I took out my tonsils.
“I don’t have tonsils and when I did the surgery the first time, this first time I’m saying this on camera,” he said.
Odumodublvck revealed that the surgery, initially expected to last 20 to 30 minutes, stretched into a grueling five-hour procedure.
By what Odumodublvck described as a miracle, the assisting doctor, typically an hour away, was just two minutes from the hospital at a filling station.
He explained: “Surgery of 20 minutes or 30 minutes took five hours what yeah Just the guy that was doing the surgery said that in 12 years of doing that surgery he has never asked for help But that day he asked for help and the guy that he asked for the help was staying one hour away But that day when he called he was two minutes at the filling station. So he just came in that even the hospital would not know he came in so he came like an angel and went When the surgery was done, I thought I was actually going to die”.
Discharged from the hospital, Odumodublvck’s fears lingered, recounting how he told his 71-year-old mother he was going to die. “I was telling my mother that I’m not going to make it,” he admitted.
