The Headies Academy announced the withdrawal of the two nominations awarded to Portable in the ‘Best Street-Hop Artiste’, and ‘Rookie of the Year’ category at the 15th edition of the award which is scheduled to hold in September in Atlanta, U.S.A.

In a lengthy statement issued on their social media platforms, it reads,

“We regret to announce that following numerous indicting statements made by Mr. Habeeb Okikiola popularly known as Portable, and the incessant negative attention that Mr. Okikiola has garnered from the Nigeria police and the general public in recent times, the organizers of the Headies have resolved to disqualify Mr. Okikiola as a nominee at the forthcoming 15th Headies Awards.”

The statement also indicated that the withdrawal of both nominations was necessitated by Portable’s recent running of the law where he claimed he is the founder of the deadly one million boys gang, a group that is known for maiming and robbing Nigerians over the years.

Portable however refuted the claim after it attracted wide criticism, which in turn led to a police investigation.

If you would recall, shortly after the nomination list was released, the controversial artiste made a threat in a viral video saying that he would kill or cause harm to the other nominees should he lose either of the two categories he was nominated for.

After that video went viral, the Headies threatened to disqualify him if he doesn’t tender an apology and take down the video. He, however, took down the video and issued an apology.
