Nigerian street singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has stirred controversy on the streets of Italy after a show where he claimed a show promoter forcefully took away the money sprayed on him during the event.
In a video making rounds online, Portable was seen engaging in a heated exchange with the show promoter, accusing him of taking the money that was sprayed on him during the event. The singer, visibly agitated, attempted to assault the promoter, who clarified that the sprayed money belonged to him.
In the video clip, Portable, known for his dramatic personality, expressed his frustration, saying,
Useless human being. All my money wey Dem spray me for that place, this useless man don carry am run. Me I go beat you for here, me I be street boy for Lagos. I go beat your father, nothing go happen.”
Infuriated, Portable hit the promoter’s car with his leg as he drove away from the scene.
Many social media users sympathized with the singer, while others offered advice, suggesting that he should have someone specifically in charge of collecting his money to avoid such dramas.
Portable is known for creating scenes at events, and this incident in Italy adds to a list of dramatic episodes involving the street singer. Earlier this year, he had complained about being sprayed with fake currencies at an event in Shagamu, and in the past, he caused a commotion when his Range Rover was vandalized after a performance in Ijegun, Lagos.
