Controversial Nigerian artist Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, has publicly addressed the viral brawl that occurred at Odumodublvck’s concert, providing his side of the story regarding what sparked the chaos.
The Trigger
Following earlier reports of him engaging in fisticuffs with unknown individuals, the singer explained that the trouble started as he entered the venue. According to Portable, a provocateur whispered a blasphemous comment in his ear, specifically disrespecting Prophet Muhammad. He noted that this remark immediately escalated the situation, causing a group of people to surround him.
Standing His Ground
Refusing to be intimidated, Portable claimed he fought back against the group. He described a physical exchange of blows but maintained that he held his own against the numbers.
From Fights to Cheers
Surprisingly, the “Zazu” crooner revealed that the hostility evaporated once he took the stage. He claimed that the very individuals involved in the altercation ended up cheering for him during his set.
He narrated:
“For Odumodublvck concert yesterday, as we dey enter tell me for my ear say ‘Anobi Mohammed ti ku’ [Prophet Mohammed is d£@d.] Na him like 15 people gather only me. Na God say make I stand o. I stand strong. Them throw blow, I throw blow. Dem do Gidibo, I do Gidibo. Before I perform, even people wey follow f!ght me dey shout Zazoo”
