Show promoter, Sam Larry, has cut ties with music artiste Habeeb Okikiola popularly known as Portable after the latter claimed Larry was among those who witnessed his influence in the notorious gang One Million Boys.
The controversial singer made the claim in a now-deleted video on his Instagram page, saying that he founded One Million Boys and another notorious gang called Ajah Boys.
“Open your ears and be listening. Have you heard of Ajah Boys, One Million Boys? I founded them,” Portable said in Yoruba.
He added that socialites Sam Larry and Abu Abel knew him back in the day.
Reacting in a recent video on Instagram, Larry vented his annoyance at Portable while denying any connection to cultism.
The show promoter also cut ties with the Zazu singer, adding that “I never want to see your calls again.”
“I don’t know who One Million Boys are. I only helped Portable. I’m only his benefactor. I’m a promoter,” he said.
“Where do I know you from? When did we meet? At what point did we have any joint dealing involving one million boys? I’ve not known Portable for more than a year, yet the unfortunate man is mentioning my name in his rants.
“I’m not the only person he mentioned but it’s only my name the public committed to heart. What’s the meaning of all that? Never mention my name in negative things! And I never want to see your calls again. I’ll block you even.
“The family members of my wife are all worried, calling me over the phone, and asking who one million boys are,” he added.
Speaking further on the matter, he said. “In regard to the trending topic about 1 Million Boys. I am a promoter and I only knew @portablebaeby a few months ago when he released the trending song Zazoo. I took him for a show in Kenya and also in Dubai .. Please I advise everyone to disregard what he said stating I and 4 others mentioned knew about him being the founder of 1 million Boys. I don’t have any association with the criminal group which caused pain and havoc to us during the lockdown and I also made a call through to @portablebaeby that I have cancelled all ties with him and he should never contact me again because this is a big stain to my name. Thanks”.
