Portable issues official statement, denies allegations of sending individuals to attack Young Duu.
Nigerian musician Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has denied any involvement in a recent attack on his former signee, Young Duu. His management issued a disclaimer via his Instagram stories in response to Young Duu’s claim that Portable’s loyal henchmen were sent to assault him.
Young Duu had appealed to the public during an Instagram Live session, requesting that Portable leave him alone and refrain from causing further harm. He emphasized that he is not a troublemaker who posts reckless content on social media and simply wants to pursue his career without any interference.
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.”
In response to the allegations made by Young Duu, Portable has declared his intention to take legal action and asserted that his former artist is attempting to tarnish his reputation.
The statement reads; “*IMPORTANT PUBLIC NOTICE
Our attention has been drawn to the allegation made by “Yungidu” against Portable that he was beaten by some boys sent by Portable.

We urge all Portable’s fans to completely disregard such blatantly false allegation as we are briefing our Lawyers to take appropriate action with the authorities to address this situation.
We further wish to state that Portable is in a good state and already preparing for his TOUR due in Russia and the United Kingdom.
