Nigerian music star Odumodublvck is celebrating a monumental windfall following his recent award victory. The rapper, whose real name is Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu, has publicly disclosed the impressive suite of gifts he received after clinching the Next Rated award at the 17th Headies ceremony.
A Lavish Reward Package Unveiled
In a video shared on his Instagram page on Thursday, January 8, 2026, the 32-year-old artist showcased his new electric vehicle and listed the full scope of his prizes. Odumodublvck confirmed he was given a brand-new electric car, a house, a parcel of land, and a coveted five-year visa to the United States.
Expressing his amazement in the video, the "Declan Rice" hitmaker said, "The Headies have given me a house and land. They gave me a five-year visa to America—America, where they have banned people from entering now—and they have given me this car; cha-cha new, brand-new, ‘tear rubber,’ electrocuted!" He humorously pondered, "What more can they give me? A Lifetime Achievement?"
Odumodublvck dedicated the moment to his supporters, stating, "Right now, it’s time for me to give back to the Headies for the support. I also want to give glory to God Almighty, to my fans, and to everybody listening to the music, because this is more than music."
From Public Call-Out to Prize Presentation
This grand presentation comes after a period of public tension between the rapper and the awards organizers. Prior to the ceremony, Odumodublvck had taken to social media to question the status of his promised rewards, specifically the car.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, "I DON FORGET SAY I WIN CAR ? HEADIES WEY MY CAR?" This public query ignited a significant online debate regarding the credibility of the awards and their promises.
The Headies organization, led by Ayo Animashaun, swiftly responded to the call-out. They assured the artist that the car was "coming in one piece" and hinted at a "double car presentation" for multiple winners. The organizers also pointed to their proven track record, reminding the public that they had previously delivered a solar-powered house to Odumodublvck for his "Rookie of the Year" win the year before.
At the time, the rapper had voiced frustration, suggesting the awards body was out of sync with the current street-pop and rap movement. However, his victory at the 2025 Headies ceremony has effectively mended the relationship, solidifying his reputation as the "industry machine" and acknowledging his undeniable impact on the Nigerian music scene.
