Valiant commented on the MOBO win on his Instagram page:
“One year and God has been so good to me. The journey has not been easy. Dancehall is no game but my faith and strong mind carried me all this way. I just want to thank all my true fans and supporters who believed in me. I can’t big up everybody, but Jah know, words can’t explain how me member them use to say me naah reach far but all me can say is believe ina yourself. Every ghetto (yute) can be great. Big up all the nominees,” the post read.
