Street artist Portable has responded after a video surfaced online showing him slapping a pastor who came to preach at his bar.
In a social media comment, Portable labeled the pastor as “419,” a term in Nigeria used to denote fraud or deceit.
“Na 419, that’s how they operate,” Portable wrote in reaction to the allegations.
Recall that Portable has had many controversies. Find below some:
Outburst With Poco Lee
The singer’s outburst with dancer, Poco Lee, followed his first hit, “Zazuu” which featured rapper, Olamide.
He accused the dancer of shortchanging him during his show with Grammy winner, Wizkid. According to him, Poco Lee only gave $600 of the money sprayed while the dancer made away with the remaining $2400.
Portable’s outburst did not go down well with his producer, Kogbagidi, which provoked him to walk the singer from the record label.
Battle With Manager, Crew
In a surprise move, Portable sacked members of his crew, including his manager, disc jockey, and show promoter.
Their sin? They never wanted others to join the crew. Speaking further, the singer accused his crew members of always holding him back from meeting new people and making progress in his career.
He mentioned that he no longer want to deal with their attitude, and he wants to maintain his space.
Fued With Ex-Signee, Young Duu.
In December 2023, the singer engaged in fisscup with Onlyone Kesh, manager to his ex-signee, Young Duu in a Lagos bar.
Before the incident, the singer had threatened to deal with Yungi Duu and the persons who aided his departure from his record label without his consent.
