Portable releases official statement, denies sending boys to assault Young Duu

Nigerian musician and record label executive, Habeeb Okikiola also known as Portable, has denied coordinating a recent attack on his former signee, Young Duu.

His management issued a disclaimer via his Instastories on Tuesday night, in reaction to a claim by Young Duu that his loyal henchmen were sent to beat him up.

The ex-Zeh Nation artiste had appealed to the public during an Instagram Live session to warn Portable to leave him alone and not inflict any further harm on him.

The rising singer said he is not a troublemaker who rants anyhow on social media, and he just wants to do his thing without being bothered.

Young Duu said, “Portable sent his boys to beat me up, you guys should warn him to leave me alone. You know I don’t come here [social media] to rant senselessly. Portable should be call to order. I don’t want any problem. I don’t make trouble.”

Reacting, Portable vowed to take legal action and claimed that his former artiste is trying to damage his reputation of Portable

The statement reads; “*IMPORTANT PUBLIC NOTICE
