His manager’s Bolaji Serah Oluwafunmilayo ‘Babylav’ posted on her Instagram page the tour dates and cities even as the Zazou crooner grapple with the N27m car debt.
Portable attempt to flee when the police came for him. He jumped over the fence but was in the end arrested by the police.

However, he was granted bail Wednesday evening.
Portable, notorious for his numerous controversies, hit stardom with his hit single, “Zazuu” which featured rapper, Olamide in 2021.
