Nigerian singer Portable, whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, has denied recent accusations of attacking officials from Ogun State during a special operation at his bar.
Social media reports, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), alleged that Portable and his team were involved in a physical altercation, leading to his detention and the closure of his bar.
In response, Portable released a video firmly denying the claims, stating he did not participate in any fight and was being falsely accused.
“It’s a youth matter, I’m a small boy. I didn’t fight anybody. I might be troublesome, but this time, I was asleep when they came to my house and bar, asking everyone to leave.”
“They went to an academy where I help young people—not just musicians but also tailors, carpenters, and bricklayers.”
“The elders, the owners of the earth, have lied against us. My glory will defeat my enemies. That house is where I buried my mother when I was 13.”
“They came and destroyed my bar, took my properties, injured my apprentices, and beat my customers before sending them home.”
“My fans, I swear to God, I didn’t fight anyone. Let them show proof that I did.”
