Can "Last Last" climb the charts any higher? The single "Last Last" has seen a sharp increase in popularity in recent weeks, especially in the US. Given that the Grammy winner is now touring the US, the single may be expected to maintain its strong run on the charts given its most recent spectacular ascent on the charts, which signals its expanding acceptance.

July 27, 2022 Headies Withdraws Portable’s Nominations

Headies Withdraws Portable’s Nominations

The two nominations given to rising Afrobeats act Portable by the Headies Academy have been withdrawn, according to the academy.

The news was announced on Headies' social media outlets on Tuesday, July 26, 2022.

The Headies Academy's choice was made necessary by Portable's recent legal maneuvering in which he asserted that the murderous One Million Boys gang, which terrorized Lagos residents during the lockdown, was founded by him.

Later, after receiving harsh criticism and sparking a police inquiry, Portable would dispute this assertion.
Should he lose either of the two categories he was nominated for, Portable has previously promised to kill other nominees.
Because the Headies Academy decided to revoke Portable's nomination, he would not have the opportunity to win the Rookie of the Year and Best Street Hop awards, for which he was nominated.
Part of the statement read, “We regret to announce that following numerous indicting statements made by Mr. Habeeb Okikiola popularly known as ‘Portable’, and the incessant negative attention that Mr Okikiola has garnered from the Nigeria Police and the general public in recent times, the organisers of the Headies have resolved to disqualify Mr Okikiola as a nominee at the forthcoming 15th Headies Awards.
“Being subject of an investigation relating to criminal activities, Mr Habeeb Okikiola is hereby disqualified from both categories of awards at the forthcoming 15th Annual Headies Awards scheduled to hold later this year.”

BBNaija’s Ike Warns Mercy Eke, Threatens To Expose Her

Ike Onyema, a former housemate on Big Brother Naija, has threatened to reveal his ex-girlfriend Mercy Eke if she keeps making unfavorable remarks about him.

While responding to previous remarks made by Eke about their relationship, the reality TV star made this clear.

Mercy Eke had revealed during one of the episodes of the podcast 'Frankly Speaking' that she once dated someone she was taking care of.

When one of the hosts, Nedu, assumed she was talking to their well-publicized romance, she vehemently denied dating Ike.

Ike quickly refuted the notion that any lady had ever looked after him while they were together.

"I am responding to this, because it’s obvious that the producers of this podcast can’t pay for ads to promote the dead podcast, so as usual, they look for who to attack to indirectly promote their dead podcast, well congratulations you have Triggered perfectly, for over two years my image and reputation have constantly been dragged to the mud," he wrote.

"So it’s time to swim with pigs, I am making a bold statement that no lady whosoever has taken care of me. If anyone claims otherwise they should bring out receipts of one thing they have done, I have been quiet because I don’t also want to expose so many people including the show."

"So I intentionally allowed myself to be ridiculed, but that era is over, people that can’t take care of their family coming out to chat shit about me, @nedu_wazobiafm and @prettymikeoflagos please be careful how involve yourself in things you have no idea of the background story."

"I respect both of you but I would not hesitate to call you guys out if I’m being disrespected to please your principals and the bosses that hired you. This should be the last time anyone would use me to count cheap scores."

"I would start dropping receipts and exposing everyone if this continues, I have enough receipts to go around and everybody go collect, enough is enough!!!!! A word is enough for the wise!!!!!"

Following their time together in Big Brother Naija's fourth season, Eke and Ike started dating.

By 2020, it was clear that the widely publicized couple had problems.

Eke claimed that she had gotten married by November of that year.

She also urged followers to refrain from enquiring about her ex-boyfriend.
