Blaqbonez Reignites Rap Feud with New 'ACL' Version on Deluxe Album
Nigerian hip-hop artist Blaqbonez has escalated his ongoing rap feud with fellow rapper Odumodublvck by releasing a new version of the diss track 'ACL' on the deluxe edition of his 'No Excuses' album. This move comes after the original version was reportedly removed from streaming platforms due to beat ownership claims allegedly involving Odumodublvck.
The Beat Acquisition Controversy
The conflict intensified when rumors emerged that Odumodublvck had acquired ownership of the original instrumental used in Blaqbonez's 'ACL' track. These rumors gained credibility through cryptic social media posts from Odumodublvck, suggesting he had purchased the beat from the original producer. This alleged acquisition led to the temporary removal of the original 'ACL' from digital platforms, creating significant buzz within the Nigerian music community.
Rather than issuing a public statement, Blaqbonez responded with artistic action, creating an entirely new beat and recording fresh verses for the updated 'ACL' track. This strategic move demonstrates that the essence of the diss track was never dependent on the original instrumental but rather on its lyrical content and message.
Evolution of the Rap Rivalry
To understand the significance of this development, one must trace the relationship between these two prominent Nigerian rappers. Initially, Blaqbonez and Odumodublvck were collaborators and mutual admirers, working together on tracks like 'Technician' in 2023 as part of their shared mission to advance Nigerian hip-hop.
The dynamic shifted when Odumodublvck began posting vague social media content questioning the staying power of unnamed rappers, with many interpreting these as indirect references to Blaqbonez. The conflict became more direct in October 2024 when Blaqbonez released 'Haibo Freestyle', a confident lyrical response. Odumodublvck countered a month later with 'Pussy Niggaz', effectively ending any pretense of friendship between the artists.
The Original 'ACL' and Its Impact
When Blaqbonez released his 'No Excuses' album in 2025, 'ACL' quickly became the centerpiece of discussion among fans and critics. The track was widely interpreted as a direct diss aimed at Odumodublvck, criticizing his tendency to engage in rap wars on social media platform X rather than through musical releases.
The original 'ACL' featured pointed lyrics questioning Odumodublvck's self-proclaimed royalty status, using a "king vs pawn" metaphor and generally portraying him as someone whose online presence had overshadowed his musical output. The track gained rapid popularity and became a defining element of their public feud.
The New 'ACL' Version and Deluxe Album Content
The updated 'ACL' maintains the aggressive tone of the original while incorporating sharper lines targeting Odumodublvck's persona and online behavior. The new lyrics reference a rapper allegedly too distracted by social media to focus on touring commitments, fans losing interest, and what Blaqbonez frames as a "cry for help" from his rival.
One particularly cutting line states, "Take your time, make you heal and come back," which appears generous on the surface but carries critical undertones. The deluxe edition of 'No Excuses' also includes three additional new tracks:
- 'Work in the Morning'
- 'Fine Shyt' featuring TML Vibez
- 'Hustle Kpa $$$' featuring Artsalghul
Despite these additions, the new version of 'ACL' is expected to dominate conversations about the album release, representing both a musical statement and a strategic move in the ongoing rivalry between two of Nigeria's most prominent hip-hop artists.
