Singer Portable has relocated his family following a March 7 attack on his elder sister by people he described as his old friends.
Fondly called Zazu by his fans, the musician posted several videos on Instagram Story on Friday where he lamented that he too was attacked when he tried to intervene for his sister.
He said in Pidgin English, “As you can see. This life as you dey make am, make you dey run from people. The more you grow, run from people. Dem no want your success. Dem don shook me o. Na my nigga shook me. I no know wetin he use shook me o. We don gather dey back in the days. Base on say I make am, na me still dey help am. He later con nack me base on sey you dey beat my sister.”
He shared a photo of his sister receiving treatment, and said, “Olopa ma ko everybody, see wetin oke osa boiz do my big sister. Akoi big problem.”
Portable stated that he was friends with the people who beat him up and recounted how he helped them and how they were envious of his success.
The singer displayed a healed wound on his hand and claimed that he bought a motorcycle for the person who stabbed him there.
He said “locality and envy” are the reasons why his enemies will not “make it” as he did.
A statement by his management signed by Serah Funmilayo aka Babyluv said the attacks began in late February when some “street boys from Iyana Ilogbo community” vandalised his car.
Babyluv said Portable’s bar was attacked and staff assaulted and that his “houses in the community were equally not spared.”
The management called on the authorities to intervene, adding that the singer’s lawyers have been briefed and legal actions will be taken.
