Odumodublvck Calls Super Bowl Overrated, Crowns FIFA World Cup as Biggest Event

Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck stirred debate on the Culture League podcast by declaring the Super Bowl “ain’t nothing” compared to global football events. He argued that finals like AFCON, the UEFA Champions League, and especially the FIFA World Cup draw far bigger audiences and cultural impact, saying, “AFCON final is bigger than the Super Bowl.” For Odumodublvck, the World Cup is also the greatest stage for any artist — outshining even the biggest music concerts, thanks to its reach of over a billion viewers.

Odumodublvck’s take actually lines up with global viewership stats. The FIFA World Cup final, Champions League final, and even AFCON draw hundreds of millions (sometimes over a billion) worldwide, while the Super Bowl (even at its record-breaking 127 million in 2025) is mostly a U.S. event.

The rapper’s strong opinions are rooted in his own history: before music, Odumodublvck dreamed of playing pro football, but an injury at 19 pushed him into music full-time. He still hopes to earn FIFA coaching credentials and return to the sport in the future. Known for hits like Picanto and Declan Rice, and his blend of hip-hop and Afrobeats, Odumodublvck uses his platform to challenge U.S.-centric views and spotlight football’s global power.
