Portable Controversies

Portable has been involved in a lot of controversies. Below are some of the controversies Portable has been involved in.
1. Portable drags Poco Lee for theft and hijacking Zazoo Zehh
After his rise to stardom which earned him the trust of street music enthusiasts. Portable began to grace different stages to perform and earn money as a young rapper, but it seemed like the new attention from the media sparked something in him.
The first incident happened during the Livespot conference on December 17, 2022. Portable Zazoo had accused Nigerian dance, Poco Lee, of attempting to defraud him and cheat him of his hard-earned money. The Ogun singer revealed that Poco Lee had taken all the money Wizkid sprayed him, about $3000, while on stage and given him a meagre amount of $600.
He added that Poco Lee had hijacked and taken credit for his hit song, “Zazoo Ze,” released on December 14, 2021. The song credit indicated Poco Lee as the owner of the song, indicating Portable and Olamide as featured acts.
The hip pop-street rap singer narrated all this on a video online. His outburst on social media angered his show promoter, Kogbagid, who requested that Portable vacate the label’s property where he lives.
Kogbagidi expressed his displeasure at Portable’s “unruly” behavior and stated that he was embarrassed by the accusatory video which had circulated online.
In a turn of events, Portable Zazoo apologised to Poco Lee, Olamide, and Kogbagidi for all the trouble caused; he insisted they were his benefactors and begged for their forgiveness. The video of the reconciliation quickly went viral.
However, Portable was just getting started in the controversial cases he would put himself in.
2. Portable allegedly sexually assaults woman in Kenya
On January 21, 2022, Portable Zazoo and his crew travelled to Nairobi, Kenya, for the “Portable Zazoo Reloaded Show” and allegedly assaulted and harassed some ladies sexually.
The incident was reported by a Kenyan radio personality, Maureen Imbai, Black Cinderella. According to Maureen, the singer and his crew asked the girls to sleep over at their residence, but the victims turned it down.
The victims’ refusal triggered the crew, who allegedly harassed and wrongly accused the ladies involved of trying to cart away the singer’s valuable items.
Portable apologised for the incident. Shortly after the allegations, the 27-year-old singer was seen making trouble again-this time; it involved his management.
3. Portable exits Kogbagidi’s label
In another event in the Ota area of Ogun State, Portable was seen yet again involved in a street fight with futile attempts by security officials to break it up.
The security guards tried to remove him from the incident scene, but Portable adamantly refused to concede. Later, he vacated the premises.
Based on reports, the fight broke out after he exited the record label owned by the show promoter Quadri Taoreed, aka Kogbagidi.
Portable had called out Kogbagidi on monetary disagreements, siphoning gifts from fans, and other problems that led to the deterioration of his relationship with Kogbagidi.
Following the drama that ensued with the fight, as seen in a viral clip, Kogbagidi dropped a cryptic message online. The message alluded to “pig fights.” Stating that getting into altercations with pigs always ends both parties in the mud.
Portable’s attitude has steered more boats of failed interactions with other people. Three months after sacking Kogbagidi, Portable fired his second management team.
In a video created by the singer Portable Zazu, he ranted about his manager, DJ and the show promoter over their constant demand for money and always wanting to restrict him from networking. According to Portable Zazu, his manager, DJ, and the show promoter do not contribute anything to the progress of his music career.
He revealed he was solely responsible for their welfare and thus felt cheated out of his hard-earned cash.
4. Portable refused entry into Canada
Portable was scheduled as one of the guest musicians performing at a show in Canada. However, the Canadian-based Nigerian MC, Morris, said they decided to drop the singer because of his temperament.
According to the MC, Portable had sacked two managers in less than a year, which was not a good sign, and would no longer have him perform in his show.

The statement emphasised that he was the founder of the cultist group that goes around looting, maiming, and assaulting their victims in a video he shared.
In a quick response, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police ordered a probe of the singer. Following the development with the police, Portable withdrew his statement saying the one million boys were his fan base.
7. Portable loses Headies nomination

In a statement by the Headies, Organisers, Portable had been dropped over his recent misconduct and affiliations to ‘One Million Boys,’ a notorious gang in Lagos and his death threat to fellow nominees.

”Are the police and Yahoo boys now working together? I don’t do Yahoo. I’m a musician. If you want to invite me to your station, you will invite me with money,” he said.
In his reaction to the incident, the state police spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, disclosed that the singer had declined invitation from the police on five occasions.
Oyeyemi stated that Portable is not bigger than the law, adding that minimum force will be used to arrest him.
“We have also sent an invitation to him through his father twice for questioning after a report was lodged against him.
