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 Sanwo-Olu, 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:
“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.
"I GENUINELY HAVE NO BAD BLOOD TOWARDS THE HEADIES, RATHER, I AM GRATEFUL THEY PUT MY MIC BACK ON TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL. JESUS IS KING. HE IS BEFORE NOW AND FOREVER. - INDUSTRY MACHINE.”
