A few days after the Headies Awards, Odumodu Blvck took to his official X page to give more details on what happened. According to the Dog Eat Dog crooner, his microphone was turned off because he was talking about Jesus.
The openly-Christian musician added that if he had been talking about Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwoolu, they would have allowed him to finish his speech.
Odumodu however, expressed gratitude to the Headies organisers for putting his microphone back on for him to spread the gospel of Jesus. He wrote:
