“The world world clap us down; ‘you can’t be this,’ or ‘you can’t speak like,’ ‘you can’t do this,’ ‘you can’t release music in this way.’
“Me standing here today, is a proof that all those things are fallacies. It only would have been possible through my Lord and saviour, Jesus Christ, who have been there for me through thick and thin. Tonight, God has shown that God reigns,” the rapper said after his microphone was restored.
Odumodublvck defeated his frequent collaborator Shallipopi, Qing Madi, Ayo Maff and Nasboi to win the keenly contested Next Rated category.
