Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, is facing fresh accusations online after a woman claimed he paid her N20,000 for a music feature despite publicly promising N1 million.

She explained that she approached the controversial street-hop sensation for a feature on her song, hoping to boost her music career by leveraging his popularity.
According to her account, Portable publicly promised her N1 million, which excited her enough to proceed with the project. However, after completing the collaboration, she received only N20,000 through her manager.
"Portable promised me 1 million Naira online but sent me 20k offline through my manager," she said, expressing deep betrayal and financial loss.
This incident is not Portable's first time with financial disputes. The singer, known for hits like "Zazoo Zeh" and his flamboyant persona, has faced similar accusations before.
In October 2025, he rejected a N1 million gift from influencer Blord, citing pride, yet he often boasts about his wealth on social media.
Earlier in December, he clashed with influencer Saida Boj over a N10 million collaboration fee she could not afford. The disagreement led to leaked chats and public dragging across social media platforms.

Portable places N500k bounty on lookalike
In a previous report, Legit.ng disclosed that Portable announced a N500,000 bounty for anyone who arrests his lookalike.
The singer made the announcement on December 22, 2025, appealing to the public, police, and soldiers to track down an impersonator performing his copyrighted songs on stage without permission.
In an Instagram video, Portable clarified that copying his hairstyle or fashion is acceptable, but using his officially released music from platforms like Apple Music constitutes fraud.
He explained that the lookalike books events for as low as N250,000, which is far below his own N10 million-plus fee. He said the impersonator exploits his brand for personal gain, promising to personally pay the cash reward to anyone who brings the lookalike to him
