Odumodublvck Refuses to Leave Stage After Mic Cut at Headies Win

Odumodublvck had a seriously major night at the 17th Headies Awards in Lagos, scooping up the prestigious Next Rated award. It’s a big deal – the award (presented by superstar Davido) recognizes the most promising emerging talent and even comes with a car prize this year.

Making the moment even more memorable, Odumodublvck brought his mother and a large crew onto the stage to celebrate with him. Things got a bit dramatic during his acceptance speech when organizers cut his microphone, seemingly to save time. However, Odumodublvck wasn’t having it and stood his ground, refusing to leave until they turned the mic back on - and his determination definitely got people talking online.

In his speech, he spoke passionately about overcoming industry pressures and limitations artists face, crediting his faith for his success. He framed the win as proof that artists can break barriers. This victory marks his second consecutive Headies win, following his Rookie of the Year award (and the house prize that came with it) in 2023, cementing his status as a rapidly rising force in music beyond the Nigerian hip hop scene.
