Nigerian Rapper Odumodublvck
Rapper Odumodublvck has broken silence on the shocking stage collapse incident that occurred during his performance at the Nativeland Festival on December 21, 2024.
In an interview with HIPTV, Odumodublvck revealed that he remained calm throughout the ordeal, attributing the composure to his strong faith.
The rapper also shed light on the complexities of organising large-scale events, emphasising that mishaps like the stage collapse should not be blamed on a single entity.
He noted that the event host, Native, has launched an investigation into the incident.
Odumodublvck highlighted the multiple teams involved in event planning, including production, lighting, sound, and security.
He stressed that it Is unfair to point fingers at one person or group for a single mistake.
Fortunately, the incident did not result in any fatalities, and Odumodublvck expressed gratitude that the casualties received proper care.
He said: “For some reason, I wasn’t scared and I didn’t panic because God is always in me and for some reason, I didn’t panic at all.
“Situations like that can be avoided, and I think the company that hosted the show, which is Native, released a statement that they’re carrying out investigations with the stage and production company.
“People don’t know things like this. When they say come and do shows, there’s a production company, light people, sound people and security.
“People think it’s just one person, but it’s good to educate people that there are different factions of this thing to put up a show.
“You can’t really point fingers at one person or everyone for one person’s mistake. All in all, we thank God nobody died, and the casualties have been taken care of to the best of my knowledge.” (The Nation)
