The ‘Gentleman’ singer said before his foray into the music scene, he used to teach in a higher institution.

“I used to be an assistant lecturer. If I wasn’t a musician, I’d be a lecturer for sure. I genuinely love teaching, I love explaining stuff but I so much love entertainment, I love [singing] as my job,” he said.

The 32-year-old musician disclosed that his family members weren’t in support of his career choice at the start but had to compromise their stance a few years ago after his songs began to gain popularity.

He said although his family members are great singers, he’s the only one that has summoned the courage to make a career out of it.

“Everybody in my house sings, Nobody was doing it professionally, and I had to summon the courage to do it,” he said.

He has also snagged a plethora of awards including ‘Best Collaboration’ at the 2018 edition of the Galaxy Music Awards.

Portable, the controversial singer, has been arrested by the Lagos state police command for allegedly failing to pay the debt he incurred after purchasing his G-Wagon from a car dealer.

The singer, born Habeeb Okikiola, was apprehended on Tuesday, Benjamin Hundeyin, the state police spokesperson, told TheCable Lifestyle.

“Yes, Portable has been arrested,” Hundeyin said.

The ‘Zazoo Zeh’ hitmaker was said to have bought the vehicle worth N27 million but paid only N13 million.

Portable allegedly refused to pay the remaining N14 million and whenever the car dealer requested for his money, he always claimed the vehicle was having issues.

The singer purchased the car last year and was once seen using the vehicle to distribute food items to children on the streets.

This is not the first time Portable will be arrested by the police. In March last year, the Ogun police arrested the singer over alleged assault.

The arrest came after the expiration of the 72-hour ultimatum given to him to turn himself in.

The singer previously resisted attempts by the police to arrest him and also referred to himself as “a federal government liability”.
