Controversial artiste, Habeeb Okikiola, aka Portable, is usually in the news for the wrong reasons. And, that played out again when he allegedly escaped an attack.
In a video posted on social media by iam_sexyshey during the week, a man caught with a locally-made pistol could be seen sitting on the ground with bloodstains on his mouth.
“Some area boys came to attack Portable with a gun on his way to Zazu Bitter office. Big thanks to all Zazuu fans, people from the area came to support. Some ‘egbon adugbo’ have collected the gun from him. It is God that saved us,” the caption read.
Expectedly, the video has sparked mixed reactions online. Some fans believe the incident was staged, while others expressed concern for the singer’s safety. One user, itisminfa commented, “This guy and stage drama. If that gun is truly loaded, he would have killed you free of charge with your stupid attitude.”
Similarly, Hypeman_mayweather wrote, “This is staged because Portable that I know will have beaten this man blue and black. Looking at the blood in his mouth, does this one resemble blood? Even his body is still clean with no beating.”
On his part, emperor_bolojay commented, “Staged or not; my advice for you is to leave that area, go on a low, stay away from trouble and keep dropping music or else na person wey know you go fall you (sic). Love.”
Meanwhile, this is not the first time Portable will be in the middle of such situation.
On August 18, 2024, the singer alongside some of his crew members were attacked at an event in the Iju-Ishaga area of Lagos. In an Instagram post, he had noted that although he went to celebrate with his friend, who happened to be a car vendor, he was attacked by some boys in the area and escaped with some injuries.
Also, in January 2024, it was reported that he was assaulted and hospitalised after breaching a deal with some artistes— Esquare— to refund the sum of N3.5m.
