No publicity is bad publicity as Controversial and flamboyant Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable has hit the studio after his release from police custody. It was gathered that Portable had paid only N13 million after purchasing the vehicle, which was worth N27 million. He was said to have refused to pay the N14 million balance.
As we know portable does not waste publicity, as the singer, on Thursday, shared a snippet of his soon-to-be-released new song – “Spiderman” in response to his arrest for defaulting on the payment plan for his G-Wagon SUV.
Produced by 2tuponthebeat, the song alludes to the singer’s flying power in relation to how he jumped over a gate to evade arrest. He used the voiceover from his arrest video as the intro.
The incident was captured in a video that circulated on Tuesday, the singer dressed in a white and black stripe shirt standing alongside eight other people, was seen climbing over a nearby gate before taking to his heels.
After chilling for 24 hours in custody, the “Zazuu” crooner regained his freedom after meeting the bail conditions set for his release. Portable is not new to arrest scandals as Sometime in March 2023, the Ogun State Police Command arrested the famous singer for cursing and rough handling some men of the Nigeria Police Force in two video clips that went viral.
The police, during a probe of the incident, invited Portable, who refused to honor the invitation. Enraged by his audacity, the police issued a 72-hour ultimatum and subsequently arrested him.
In another development, the singer was also arrested by policemen in Ogun State and later arraigned on five counts bordering on alleged assault and stealing at the Ifo Magistrates’ Court.
He was remanded at the Ilaro Correctional Centre and later released after meeting his bail conditions.
He is indeed a man of Drama
