Nigerian street-hop sensation, Portable, has finally addressed the viral video of him fighting at the Port Harcourt International Airport, claiming that the confrontation was the result of a dangerous prank.
In a new clip shared on his Instagram page, the Zazoo Zeh crooner explained that he was approached by a group of people who pretended to be playing a prank on him, but the situation escalated quickly.
According to Portable, the prank nearly took a violent turn.
“Those people came to prank me. They were death pranksters. It almost turned to cultist level,” he said. “Ten yellow can’t stand one blue. Black no dey inside rainbow. I swear to God who made me, dem no dey do jakujaku for Jaku front.”
The singer’s statement comes a day after videos of him engaging in a physical altercation at the airport went viral, showing security officers and bystanders struggling to restrain him.
The footage sparked mixed reactions online as fans weighed in on the singer’s conduct: @_abdulszn wrote, “Attention seeker.” @jazz_coin21_official added, “Werey wan trend 😂.”
Another user, @unusual_sir_prosper1, said, “Portable is the true definition of fame miss road.” Meanwhile, @dami_lola_001 admitted, “Nah that kind thing we dey like about him 😂.”
After Portable posted his video explanation, more fans reacted; some sympathetic, others mocking. @timipushme defended him, writing, “He is speaking his mind now before akoba go come. Una say make him calm down until dem kpai him too.”
But @Icongerrard warned, “Werey, you dey PH dey do 10 yellow and 1 blue? Make e end for airport o, because if you try am near Mile 3 or Mile 1, if dem no beat you make I know.” @richybored cautioned, “Port Harcourt is a no-fly zone, thread carefully.”
And @Chimaobicharly added, “Una too dey patronise rubbish in the name of celebs. That’s why this country still dey like this.”
The incident serves as yet another reminder of how quickly fame, chaos, and controversy seem to follow Portable wherever he goes.
