Portable Needs Rehab - Nigerians React As Singer Performs On Pants (Video)

Controversial Nigerian artiste, Habeeb Okikiola better known as Portable called out a show promoter after his visa application to the United States of America was rejected.

According to the controversial singer, in the video making rounds,  the promoter had made arrangements for him to attend an event in the US and paid him a sum of three million up front.

He disclosed that the event planner set him up and prevented his application from being granted after applying for over 10 other persons who were neither amongst his team nor friends.

Following the arrangement, Portable revealed that all 11 of them were denied visas.

Angered by development, Portable lashed out at the promoter for including persons who had no business with his music in the visa arrangements therefore ruining his opportunity to perform in the US.

He further disclosed that after the visa cancellation, the organizers began to request for N20 million for damages.

He accused the promoter of trying to rip him with the well planned sabotage.

Portable further explained how the promoter sent a letter to his family home in Lagos, stating that he would be expected to pay N2m every month till the N20 million has been paid in full.
