Nigerian singer Portable faces backlash after a viral video showed him threatening a car dealer over a delayed vehicle shipment. The incident, occurring shortly after he assaulted a preacher, highlights the artist's controversial behavior and raises concerns about celebrity influence on societal norms.
Controversial Nigerian singer Portable, known for his hit “Zazoo Zeh,” has sparked outrage after a video surfaced of him ordering an assault on a car dealer over a delayed vehicle shipment. In an Instagram Live session, Portable, whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola, confronted the dealer, accusing him of failing to deliver the car he had ordered from the United States over two weeks ago.
During the tense interaction, Portable demanded to know the whereabouts of his vehicle, expressing frustration over what he claimed were false excuses provided by the dealer. He alleged that the dealer had initially told him that customs had seized the car but later found this information to be untrue. In a fit of anger, he threatened the dealer, saying, "Where is my car? I will destroy your life."
This incident comes just days after Portable slapped a preacher at his bar, further highlighting his pattern of violent outbursts. The singer has faced numerous controversies, including a past arrest for failing to settle a debt related to another vehicle purchase and recent altercations with content creators and other individuals.
Portable's actions have reignited discussions about the influence of celebrity behavior on society, raising concerns about the normalization of violence and intimidation in the public sphere. As the singer continues to be in the spotlight for troubling reasons, many are left wondering about the implications of his actions on his career and public perception.
