After his claims, Portable's promoter Kogbagidi felt disappointed at the act displayed by the new rising star. He states that Portable was an ungrateful person and the act displayed was unprofessional which is usually expected from upcoming artists. With all his claims the alleged Dancer never responded to his claims. Several celebrities sued for peace.

Career
Portable has been interested in music since when he was still in elementary school, and the Abeokuta-born singer was influenced by rap songs by American artists such as Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G and Snoop Dogg, among others.
The Zazu Zeh singer wanted to be like many of these top stars, and so he began to rap.
However, following the emergence of indigenous rappers like Lord Of Ajasa, Dagrin, Danny Young, Olamide, QDot, CDQ, Portable switched to rapping in the Yoruba language.
Portable has been in the entertainment industry for ten years before he finally shot to fame through the influence of Olamide. Today he has met with Tiwa Savage, Wizkid, and if he continues to release trending songs, he could become an A-rated star soon.
