Nigerian rap titan Odumodublvck has finally opened up about an incident during the 17th Headies Awards, where his acceptance speech was cut short in a viral moment.
This was not a good evening for the artist, who won two major prizes and suddenly experienced an abrupt mic cutoff from The Headies for an act live before television cameras and millions of viewers that stirred tumultuous conversations on the internet.
Odumodublvck took to X (formerly Twitter) to mention that in his opinion, the interference resulted from his reference to Jesus Christ. He continued that had it been the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, it would have been another story.
“I WAS TALKING ABOUT JESUS AND THEY TRIED TO SHUT ME DOWN. I AM HUNDRED PERCENT SURE THAT IF I WAS TALKING ABOUT HIS EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR BABAJIDE SANWO-OLU I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CUT OFF.”
He then cleared that he had no grievances against the organizers of the Headies, expressing his gratitude that his microphone was restored, saying: “I GENUINELY HAVE NO BAD BLOOD TOWARDS THE HEADIES, RATHER, I AM GRATEFUL THEY PUT MY MIC BACK ON TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL.”
He ended his message with a declaration of his faith:
“JESUS IS KING. HE IS BEFORE NOW AND FOREVER. INDUSTRY MACHINE.”
