I Was Talking About Jesus!” – Odumodublvck Breaks Silence On Mic Cutoff Drama At The Headies

Popular Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck has revealed that his microphone was abruptly cut during his acceptance speech at the 17th Headies Awards because he was speaking about Jesus Christ.

Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) account, the rapper suggested that the interruption was triggered by his mention of Jesus, hinting that had he spoken about Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu instead, the incident might not have occurred.

Despite the disruption, Odumodublvck emphasized that he holds no grudge against the Headies organizers. He expressed appreciation for the opportunity to eventually complete his speech after his mic was turned back on.

Reaffirming his devotion, the rapper declared, “Jesus is King. He is before now and forever.”

He added, “I was talking about Jesus and they tried to shut me down. I’m a hundred percent sure that if I was talking about His Excellency Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, I wouldn’t have been cut off. I genuinely have no bad blood towards the Headies. Rather, I’m thankful they put my mic back on to spread the gospel.”

Meanwhile, skit maker and musician Carter Efe has criticized the Headies Awards organizers for nominating the late singer Mohbad.

Efe accused the organizers of leveraging Mohbad’s death for clout, pointing out that the singer was never recognized with a Headies award while alive.

Mohbad was posthumously nominated in two categories—Best Street-Hop Artiste and Viewers’ Choice Award—for his collaboration with Chike. His widow, Omowunmi, and their son received the award on his behalf during the ceremony in Lagos.

In a video shared on social media, Efe claimed the recognition only came after the singer’s passing, questioning the sincerity of the organizers’ intentions.
