Twitter React To Headies Not Disqualifying Burna Boy After Portable’s Saga
Netizens and music lovers have aired their opinions as regards why Burna Boy was not disqualified from the 2022 Headies Award following the disqualification of Portable.
Music fans on the Bird app are voicing their concerns about the portable’s 2022 headies disqualification.
The conversation sprung after popular journalist Joey Akan called out the headies academy for choosing to disqualify Portable because he is a smaller artist.
According to the award-winning music writer, the headies academy is meant to honour artistic achievement rather than function as a moral tool to regulate their behaviour.
Your job is to cast shiny trophies, and hand them over to people who have shown artistic distinction, while making your own bank.
It's a music award show. A platform to celebrate artistic brilliance. Not a moral tool for censoring behaviour.
You're not the police or NBC.

Recall, mp3bullet.ng reported that Burna Boy was in the news recently after his security aide allegedly shot people in the club, an investigation that the Nigerian police also promised to investigate.

Joey Akan took a stance on that point, slamming the headies academy for disqualifying Portable and leaving Burna Boy due to what he regarded as a small vs big artist situation.
Police recently announced investigations into two artists.
Headies ignore the bigger one, ban the smaller one.

As a result of the tweets, there has been a flurry of discussion on Twitter about a variety of subjects involving Burna Boy, Portable, and the headies.
See reaction below:
First is Burna boy, the bigger artist.
Second is Portable, the seemingly smaller artist!
It's basically Nature favouring abundance!
Disqualifying Burna on the same basis will have more of impact, and not the good kind!
Might not be fair, but it's life.

Maybe because the "smaller one" threatened the lives of other nominees.

The other one didn’t threaten to kill the other nominees if he doesn’t win

Burna is innocent

They’re always going to be biased; these awards in Nigeria are absolutely one sided. Even with the nominations you’d see they don’t even know what they’re doing

Very unfair treatment if you ask me. But one is their fav and the other is not. It is what it is sadly…

Two totally different cases…and besides, the police have done their investigation on Burna’s case and found nothing against him…so what’s your point??? Better use your head oo
