Headies: “Even With Juju, E No Fit Win”, Many Say Portable Never Stood a Chance If He Wasn’t Disqualified

• Nigerian controversial singer Portable was recently disqualified from this year’s Headies Award after he was nominated in 2 different categories
• The organisers said the Zazu crooner was disqualified over a threat to kill other nominees if he failed to win amid many other reasons
• Even though he has now been disqualified, many believe he wouldn’t have won if he was still a part of the nominees

More than seven months after he shot to fame, Nigerian controversial singer Portable may have been close to bagging at least one Headies Award in 2022, but his lifestyle has ruined his chances.

This comes after the organisers of the prestigious Nigerian music award, in a statement on Tuesday, July 26, announced that the Zazu crooner had been disqualified over a threat he made to kill other nominees if he failed to win, among many other reasons.
