After a chaotic concert in Ikorodu, Lagos, Nigerian street-hop artist Habeeb Okikiola, better known by his stage name Portable, has caused significant concern.
The “Zazu” crooner said that during the live performance, a member of the audience tried to inject him in a now-viral video that he shared on Instagram.
Portable, who is well-known for his bizarre performances and contentious outbursts, claimed the encounter made him think of the enigmatic circumstances surrounding fellow artist Mohbad’s death.
He claims that he barely avoided what he thinks may have been a deadly assault.
He declared: “I went to perform in Ikorodu, and they injected me. They want to kill me like they did to Mohbad I was performing when a guy just ran out from the crowd to inject me. I slammed the mic on him.”
The singer went on to reveal that his leg was injured during the ensuing commotion as fans rushed toward him.
While clarifying that no physical altercation broke out, he claimed his leg was broken in the rush of the crowd who attempted to embrace him. “We didn’t fight each other at the show. It was just chaos. See, if they had tried to fight me, I would have retaliated. But in the process of trying to embrace me, they hit my leg.”
The shakened singer revealed a swollen leg in the video and hinted that the attacker might have been sent by enemies who didn’t want to see him succeed.
