Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has debuted a new clean-shaven look, marking his first public appearance since his release from prison.
The video, shared via his Instagram story on Tuesday, captured the ‘Zazu’ crooner with a freshly shaved head and a patterned shirt as he vibed to his track with Skepta, Tony Montana.
The artist, in another Instagram story, extended heartfelt appreciation to his fans and supporters who stood by him during his recent ordeal.
He wrote, “Alhamdulilahi for everything. Big Thanks to all my lovers ZAZUU am sorry for everything if I do you bad ninu Ogun ni ogo wa To those people outside there wey dey pray for me beg for me una too no go fall ooo only God I never see ogo ni mi God sent God love me I love you all ZAZUU Ono ope mi Opor OPF OPOR FAR.”
The singer also publicly appreciated Fuji music veteran Saheed Osupa, who recently withdrew a legal case against him.
Posting the Fuji icon’s picture, he captioned, “God bless you sir. I am sorry Bami.”
This comes after Osupa formally withdrew his defamation case against Portable.
The Metro reports that in a press statement issued on Tuesday, Osupa’s media aide, Busari Basit Babatunde, confirmed that the case was withdrawn on the singer’s personal directive, following numerous public appeals and compassionate consideration.
According to the statement, “The management of King (Dr.) Saheed Osupa wishes to inform the general public that the legal action previously instituted against Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has been formally withdrawn on the instruction of Osupa himself.”
The statement clarified that the lawsuit, which was initially initiated by Osupa’s management, was not a personal vendetta but a step to “set a precedent that would discourage unruly behavior and promote responsibility, especially among younger artists.”
