Obita Bmc is his name and freestyling is his game, the Nigerian TikToker has dropped a rap freestyle titled ‘’Bag of rice freestyle’’ after Chidimma Adetshina’s big win at the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant and it has left many impressed.
In the lyrical breakdown he tackles the alleged Home Affairs identity fraud and corruption saga surrounding Adetshina’s mom, who is accused of fraudulently acquiring a South African ID by stealing someone’s identity.
In the freestyle, the rapper also addresses the Bolt incident, where Mzansi and Naija residents were making fake requests out of spite, and the big elephant in the room, corruption in South Africa.
He was not shy with his words when it came to the corruption verse, addressing that Chidimma’s mom did not just land up with a passport in her hands as a corrupt official made it possible.
Three Home Affairs officials, one of whom has since died, have been identified during the preliminary investigation which found prima facie evidence that identity fraud may have taken place.
‘’We could be mad at Chidimma’s mom, yeah we could all be haters, but there were a bunch of corrupt South Africans happy to help with the papers,’’ he raps.

Adding that they deem themselves as angels who could do no wrong but are always quick to point out others.
‘’A child’s grant is like 500 bucks, how does a single mother even survive so when foreigners offer money for papers a poor woman is always happy to oblige,’’ he raps.
In this verse he brings to light how poverty leads people to falling into corruption due to not making enough money or not having any means to get by, adding that they are expected to be patriotic to their country when their purses are empty.
The last jab is about the Bolt incident, where South Africans were requesting fake rides in Nigeria as a prank, which had Nigerians returning the favour, fuelling the entire debacle.
The prank forced Bolt to block the option that enables requesting rides from across the border to prevent the continuation.
In the comments, many were impressed by his use of lyrical skills while addressing serious issues.
