The 2022 Headies Awards organizers have threatened to disqualify Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable, for threatening to kill his co-nominees.
This comes after the Zazu singer said in a viral video that if he didn't win, he'd kill whoever beat him to the trophies.
Portable received two nominations, for 'Rookie of the Year' and 'Best Street-Hop Artiste,' in the nomination list released on Tuesday, May 14.
Av, Fave, Magixx, and Ugocci are among the other Rookie of the Year nominees.
Bella Shmurda, Mohbad, Naira Marley, and Goya Menor are among the competitors in the second category.
Shortly after the news broke, the Zazuu' singer moved to Instagram to threaten whoever won the 2022 Headies Award over him.
In response to the viral video, the award's organizing committee said they may be compelled to disqualify the musician if he does not retract his statement and submit an apology on his Instagram page by Friday, May 27.
The organizers also stated that the incident had been reported to the authorities.
