Organisers of the Headies Awards have disqualified singer, Habeeb Okikiola, AKA Portable, from the list of nominees..
Portable was disqualified for threatening to kill his co-nominees.
Recall that on the 25th of May 2022, Portable had threatened to kill, or cause harm to the other nominees in the same categories of awards he was nominated for if he does not emerge the winner.
The singer was nominated in the ‘Rookie of the Year’ and ‘Best Street-Hop Artiste’ categories.
