​Story Highlights

Quincy 042 addressed the backlash following his January 27 diss track against Phyno. The rapper described the song as “free smoke” and criticized industry gatekeepers. He insisted he speaks for the “real streets” and threatened to release a harsher track if provoked further.

Quincy 042 has fired back at critics who attacked him online. This follows the release of his controversial diss track.

​He dropped the song on Tuesday, January 27, 2026. The video quickly sparked anger among Phyno’s loyal fans.

​’Ordinary Free Smoke’

​Quincy took to Instagram to address the hate. He mocked the sensitive reactions to his “challenge” entry.

​He claimed the song was just “ordinary free smoke.” However, the negative feedback surprised him. The rapper noted that fans have been “feeding him tears” since the video dropped.

​The artist used a specific beat for the viral video. He recorded over Dremo’s Man2Man open verse instrumental for the track.

​Quincy warned fans not to push him too far. He threatened to drop “real smoke” if the dragging continues.

​Fighting the Gatekeepers

​He also addressed the state of the music industry. Quincy refused to “lick the same asses” as other entertainers.

​He criticized “gatekeepers” who ignore the city until it benefits them. He promised to create a path with “no gates” for his talented brothers and sisters.

​The Enugu-born rapper labeled himself an activist at heart. He claimed he speaks for the voiceless on the streets.

​He admitted he loves his colleagues but called out their wrongs. You can read the shocking diss track details to understand his specific claims.

​System Failure

​Quincy ended his rant with a curse for the system. He stated that without the people, the system is nothing.

Odumodublvck explains feud motive, says it seeks justice

Key Points

• He says someone close faced abuse for over a year. He intervened after private pleas to leaders failed.

• He rejects claims it is a rap beef for clout. He calls it a push for justice alone.

• He says some insiders chose silence over accountability. He now seeks peace, closure, and to move forward.

Odumodublvck (Tochukwu Ojogwu) has addressed his ongoing public feud. The rapper says the matter was about justice, not music.

In a note titled Industry Machine, he said he acted to defend someone close. He said the person faced abuse and threats online. The clash also drew Blaqbonez diss at Odumodublvck in October.

Why he stepped in

He said private appeals to label heads and executives failed. He felt compelled to act when no one would protect his friend.

He insisted the move was not about rap one-upmanship. “This is not a rap beef,” he wrote, urging fans to drop clout frames.

He added that some leaders protected investments over truth. That, he said, made the silence more painful.

Accountability and peace

The rapper said he values honesty and clear standards in the scene. He criticised figures who stayed silent when help was needed.

He has shown support for everyday fans, including a recent N500k gift to sales boy. He said his aim now is closure and peace.

He asked supporters to judge intent rather than rumours. “I choose to move forward,” he added in the closing lines.

He also warned against turning pain into fan sport. He wants focus on care, not clicks or charts.
