Slimcase Challenges Headies For Disqualifying Portable
Oluwafemi Oladapo, professionally known as Slimcase, has intervened after organisers of Headies Awards disqualified singer, Habeeb ”Portable” Okikiola, from its 15th edition.
The “Zazuu Crooner” was disqualified, according to the organisers, in a statement issued on Tuesday, for making threats against his fellow nominees and becoming the focus of a criminal investigation.
He was nominated in the ‘Best Street Artist’ and ‘Rookie of the Year categories.
According to the organisers, his disqualification is intended to send a clear message that the organisation does not tolerate irresponsible and impolite words.
Following the announcement, Slimcase left a comment on blogger Tunde Ednut’s Instagram post regarding the Headies and Portable saga, expressing his displeasure with the organisers for their stringent choice.
He wrote;
“U no show love ooo”

Portable himself has responded to being disqualified from the 2022 Headies awards.
Few minutes after the disqualification decision was announced the singer took to his Instagram story to post a cryptic message, lauding himself, his talent, and his achievements.
The singer also chipped in the fact that he doesn’t regret his actions.
“I am a child of light. I have fame, I have money, I have cars, I have wives, I have children. I am rich. People know me everywhere. I don’t regret my actions”, the singer said.
