Popular Nigerian singer and street-hop sensation, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, is in the news again, this time for a heated altercation in a shopping mall in Canada.
The dramatic incident, which was captured in some video, went viral on social media and has left fans and critics talking.
In the video, Portable makes a scene at a mall in Canada after being accosted by a man who insisted that he visit and promote his business. However, it turned into a heated argument as they were seen shouting and exchanging insults at each other.
The singer, however, took to his Instagram page to give more insights about the video of him fighting the man in a shopping mall in Canada.
According to Portable, the man wanted him to visit his restaurant and help promote his business. He also asked the singer to take pictures with every fan in the shopping mall, which Portable turned down since he didnโt pay him.
The man got confrontational and began trying to stir up drama. He and the Zazoo Crooner kept hurling insults at each other while others tried to mediate the issue.
Portable and his managers subsequently reported the matter to the security, who noted they captured everything on camera.
He captioned the video, โBefore we entered the mall, I exited the car, I was walking towards the door and this organizer of the Regina show drove right in front of me and if I didnโt step back he would have hit me all because I didnโt want to go to his restaurant to promote his own personal business and he didnโt pay me for any of that. I didnโt say anything to him. I just wanted to buy some clothes and relax before the show. After we entered the mall, I went on my own shopping with my ๐๐ @djchelsea.official and the organizer for the Regina show came up to me and said I have to take pictures with every fan that comes up to me.โ
โI said you canโt tell me what to do Iโm just shopping, enjoying my private life right now and then the organizer threatened to slap me and beat me. My ๐๐ tried to get him to stop and he yelled at my ๐๐. Then my ๐๐ called my Canadian promoter @ajbone1 and AJ told him he canโt speak to an artist this way. Now the organizer shoved and hit my promoter AJ Bone while he continued to threaten me and then he hit me as well!! The security officer saw everything and they know I did not start the fight and I didnโt hit anyone. The other security officers saw the security cameras and they told me to press charges. The police is dealing with this matter.โ
