Portable Opens Up on Phone Theft Saga with Former Label
Street-hop sensation Portable has once again found himself in the spotlight — this time, for addressing the lingering controversy surrounding a phone theft incident involving his former record label. In a recent interview, the outspoken artist shed light on the situation, offering his side of the story and making it clear that he’s moved on from the drama.
According to Portable, the phone theft saga began during a heated fallout with members of his previous label. He alleged that during the dispute, some of his personal belongings, including a mobile phone, went missing under suspicious circumstances. The artist, known for his raw energy and unfiltered style, claimed the incident was part of a broader pattern of mistreatment he experienced while under the label’s management.
“They tried to mess me up, but I thank God I’m bigger than all their plans now,” Portable stated. “The phone matter? Na small thing compared to the way dem wan use me. I don forgive, but I no forget.”
Portable’s revelation has reignited discussions among fans about the challenges many upcoming artists face with management and contracts, especially in the Nigerian music industry. His experience adds to the growing number of cases where artists break away from record labels amid allegations of exploitation, unfair treatment, and broken trust.
Despite the controversy, Portable has continued to rise in popularity, delivering hit songs and staying in the news for both his music and his flamboyant lifestyle. The Zazoo Zeh crooner emphasized that he’s focused on his growth and building a brand that reflects his true identity, far from the control of any label.
As Portable continues to make waves independently, his story serves as both a cautionary tale and a testament to resilience. While the phone theft saga may be a dark chapter in his journey, it’s clear that the artist is determined not to let the past hold him back.
