Odumodublvck Trolls Shallipopi Over Headies Handshake, Ignites Online Banter

Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck set X ablaze on May 1, 2025, with a cheeky post trolling fellow artist Shallipopi over a handshake at the 2025 Headies Awards. The post, shared by @Odumodublvck_, humorously questions why the Headies, not God, should be the one to “punish” him, drawing massive engagement from fans.

Odumodublvck took to X with a post that read, “I DON TROLL SHALLI DIE ONTOP HANDSHAKE WEY DEM GIVE AM 😂 A WHOLE PRESIDO E DON TELL ME SAY GOD GO PUNISH ME NO BE HEADIES GOD SUPPOSE PUNISH? MY PEOPLE 😂.”

The drama stems from the 2025 Headies Awards, held at the Landmark Event Centre in Lagos, where Odumodublvck clinched the Next Rated award, beating out Shallipopi. According to CreebHills, Shallipopi expressed frustration over the loss, vowing never to attend the Headies again and criticizing the award’s fairness. He even won Best Rap Single for “Cast,” a track featuring Odumodublvck, but the Next Rated snub clearly stung. Odumodublvck’s post references a moment where Shallipopi, reportedly upset, received a handshake, possibly a consolation gesture from the organizers and reacted strongly, even invoking divine punishment on Odumodublvck.
