Odumodublvck has said he would die for his woman as Christ died for him, in a post linked to his ongoing feud with BlaqBonez over a woman they had both been intimate with.
The rapper’s latest comments come after he revealed on Wednesday that BlaqBonez had called him to say he had previously been in a friends-with-benefits relationship with his girlfriend. Odumodublvck said BlaqBonez contacted him believing he was unaware of their past involvement.
The dispute over the woman has been identified by both rappers as a major part of the breakdown in their former friendship. BlaqBonez previously said that he and the woman had been intimate without him knowing she was also involved with Odumodublvck.
Amid the renewed clash, Odumodublvck wrote on X: “The same way Christ died for my sins, I, Odumodublvck, will die for my woman.”
He described the sentiment as “gangstar love” and “true love,” adding that money cannot buy the bond and that talking strengthens the relationship.
“This Is Our Secret” is the 20th release from loveoleglove and was released on September 4, 2026.
The track begins with a conversation between two people. One asks the other to come along and trust them, without explaining what lies ahead. The song then follows the other person’s response as curiosity develops into trust and wonder.
What they see, hear or experience is never identified. Instead, the song focuses on the act of sharing something deeply personal with someone close. The unnamed experience leaves room for the listener to interpret the moment in their own way.
The closing lines — “Don’t tell anyone. This is our secret. Yours and mine.” — frame the song as a reflection on intimacy, trust and the way an individual experience can become shared between two people.
“This is our secret” is available on streaming platforms.
