Released amid the celebrations surrounding the club’s title-winning season, the track quickly gained traction online, with fans praising its timing, energy and street appeal.
Ahead of the release, Odumodublvck generated anticipation by teasing snippets of the song, alongside chaotic airport-themed artwork and behind-the-scenes studio clips on social media.

The collaboration continues Odumodublvck’s growing association with football culture, especially among Arsenal supporters.
His previous hit, ‘Declan Rice’, became widely embraced by fans of the North London club and helped strengthen his image as one of Nigerian music’s most vocal football enthusiasts.

Despite the comparisons, many fans agree that Motion Sickness stands out as one of the major Nigerian street-hop releases of the week, especially amid the crowded New Music Friday lineup.
The song is currently streaming across major digital platforms, with fans continuing to celebrate the collaboration as another strong moment for Nigeria’s thriving hip-hop and street-hop scene.
