Portable’s disqualification from the two categories he was nominated for; ‘Best Street Artist’ and ‘Rookie of the Year’ was announced by the award organizer on Tuesday citing his (portable) involvement in misdemeanors as reason.
“The decision to disqualify Mr Okikiola is accentuated by series of misdemeanors by Mr Okikiola via his social media platforms.
“We shall not condone reckless and uncouth statements from artists and hereby disassociate ourselves from any individual linked to such assembly or activities linked to him as described.
