• In a video shared to his Instagram page, he described how his lookalike has been attending his shows and performing his songs at gatherings
• Portable argued that he cannot be replaced, noting what he intends to do to him, triggering reactions online

Nigerian singer Portable has warned his fans to be wary of a man who he claims is mimicking him on the live-show circuit, after footage of the lookalike performing the singer's songs surfaced online.

The musician accused the lookalike of collecting show fees and advised fans to beat up anyone they saw purporting to be him, but not to tag or drag him into the mayhem.

Portable's statement on social media was direct and hostile. He advised fans that if a doppelganger is playing his songs or dressing in his style, they should "beat him up," and that people will continue to protest and petition even after the violence.
