Headies: Portable apologises for threatening fellow nominees

Singer Portable

Music artiste Habeeb Okikola popularly known as Portable has apologised for threatening his fellow nominees of the 2022 Headies Awards.

Portable gave the apology after the organiser of the award threatened to disqualify him for his actions.

“Those are my awards, anybody else who wins I will ask for them to be killed. I will ask them to kill the person. If the organisers give my award to someone else, they will die.

“No go give my award to another person, he go die o,” Portable had threatened on Wednesday.

In a video late Friday, the singer, however, apologised to the organisers, as he also insisted that he should receive the award.

Referring to himself as a “madman musician”, Portable noted that he wasn’t fighting with the organisers.

He said, “Headies don nominate “madman” olorin. Streets ti take over. So make una give us our award o.“No vex o, bros. Bros, no vex o. If I fuck up, no be me first dey fuck up. Plenty people don dey fuck up. Abeg I wan collect my award.”

The fast-rising artiste is contending for the Best Street-Hop Artiste and Rookie of the Year awards according to the nomination list released on Tuesday.
