On his Facebook page, Kunle shared a video of the performance and shared how it made the event more lively.
He said:
“Last night, Juma Jux delivered a performance that was nothing short of electrifying. In an event marred by delays and technical glitches, his stage presence was a breath of fresh air.”
He shared how the performance changed his mind towards the event and its organisers.
His words:
“I had half a mind to compose some well-versed Ibadan e-curses, spiced with Ilorin dialect, directed at Ayo Animashaun and the entire Headies crew for making me waste over 10 litres of petrol and sacrificing my sleep.
“But then came Juma Jux’s performance, which was a saving grace. You could feel the audience’s energy shift, and it’s evident that Nigerians have embraced him. His connection with the crowd was palpable, and I believe they’ll rally behind his music.”

Man faults Mohbad’s Headies award win
Kunle also slammed the organisers for giving street hop artist award to late singer, Promise Aloba aka Mohbad, for his song, “Ask About Me”.
He said:
“While it’s commendable that Mohbad was posthumously honored but I feel awarding his 2021-22 track “Ask About Me” the Best Street-Hop Artiste ahead of songs like Seyi Vibez’s 2024 hit “Different Pattern” raises eyebrows. The eligibility period for the awards was supposed to be from April 2023 to July 2024, making Mohbad’s track ineligible.
“And as for NextRated. Una mess up gan. Egbon Ayo, e Kai now. Odumodublvck don dey the game for over four years, get plenty projects, and don feature with big names like Davido. How him come be Next Rated?”
