Headies Organizers report singer Portable to police over death threat to co-nominees as they threaten to disqualify him (Video)

The organisers of 2022 Headies Awards have threatened to disqualify fast-rising singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable for threatening to kill his co-nominees.

This comes after the controversial singer made a threat in a viral video that he would kill whoever beats him to the awards if he fails to win.

In the nomination list unveiled on Tuesday, May 14, Portable bagged two nominations, the ‘Rookie of the Year’ and ‘Best Street-Hop Artiste.’

Other nominees e in the ‘Rookie of the Year’ category include Av, Fave, Magixx, and Ugocci.

In the second category, he is up against Bella Shmurda, Mohbad, Naira Marley, and Goya Menor among others.

Shortly after the announcement, the Zazuu’ crooner took to his Instagram page to make a threat to whoever wins the 2022 Headies Award over him.

Reacting to the viral video, the award’s organizers in a statement issued on Friday, May 27, said it might be forced to disqualify the singer if he fails to retract his statement and issue an apology on his Instagram page.

The organizers also disclosed that they have reported the issue to the police.

“We have notified the Nigeria police of Mr. Okokiola’s actions to fellow nominees. Also, demand for the immediate retraction of the video as well as a written apology to nominees in both categories and to The Headies has been made.

“Should Mr. Okikiola fail to meet our demands, we will not only disqualify him from participating in The Headies but also enforce the instrumentality of the law.

“The general public are hereby implored to disregard the video and stop the dissemination of the same in the public space.” The Headies noted.

Too much meth, monkey tail with a touch of Ogogoro must have clouded his judgment.

Always spewing trash like a junkie.. As crazy as zlatan Ibile is, he minds what he dishes out..

Dis boi i knwn is hardman from day 1. Just luk @ his appearance?

That is his problem not Nigeria problem

Wait
So this thing is serious
You haven't even spent a year in the industry you are forming Jagaban of music

People from that region are so razz
Bunch of thugs and cultists

I really don't blame him, I blamed those who give the tout the undeserving attention he got.

The guy is so uncouth.

Nigerians can vibe to anything but I wasn't expecting that of zaazu... Though the kind of songs some Nigerian appreciate these days only God knows

Portable needs to be careful. Seems he's taking his luck too far. His manager has a lot of work to do.


Is he more street than olamide or burna boy? But look at how they are balancing street cred with being urbane. Portable has a lot to learn from the big guys like olamide and burna boy.

If una disqualify am, wahala go dey oo.... That guy fit purchase RPG for una matter storm the venue

When everybody decides to keep up with the herd mentality and jump on the bandwagon to celebrate trash, this is what you get in the end.

It was the same way Buhari was idolised, worshipped, and revered by all and sundry, until.......

He could no longer hide his true colors nor be packaged and marketed....

So, here we all are almost behaving like Buhari without yet realising it because we seem to love and thrive on rubbish.

Quit being a bigotry. Remember what your tribe/religion did to late Deborah?

I am sure his co-nominees are not ruffled by his utterance. They know he is a loudmouthed cretin. However, some things shouldn’t be said.

You can take someone out of the street, but you can't take street of the person

He don already apologize...stop over flogging the issue

What do u expect when the society can turn any fool to celeb ... our own is even worse ...the Americans we try to emulate will not nominate u for a big award if u hv a highly flawed character issue
