Portable stumbled on fame by chance when a blogger, Don Blue, used ‘Zazu Zeh’ as a soundtrack on a post which eventually piqued the famous Nigerian singer Olamide’s interest.

Speaking in an interview with BoomPlay, on how he met Olamide, Portable said, “I met Don Blue, an online blogger. I have never seen him physically. He reposted my song, and I showed him gratitude 

“Shortly after, Don Blue called me and told me that Baddo wanted to meet me, so I rushed to Lekki to meet Baddo,” he said.

Portable, however, became a household name after he featured Nigerian dancer Poco Lee and Olamide on his street anthem, ‘Zazu Zeh’.

He said they put up an attitude whenever new people want to “mingle” with him.

Speaking further, Portable accused his crew members of always holding him back from meeting new people. 

His Controversial nature caused a Canadian-based Nigerian MC, Morris, to drop him from a show. 

The MC complained that Portable had sacked two managers in less than a year, and he would no longer have him perform in his show.

He went further to say that he has written to immigration to deny his visa application.

Portable also made headlines for his series of fights with some fans.

He allegedly got into a nasty fight with some Benin fans at a show in Edo State.

Hours after the fight, Portable almost got into another fight with a DJ in a club. The singer got infuriated and irritated with how the DJ handled his song.
