Portable assaults car dealer over ‘delayed shipment’ — days after slapping preacher

Published

on

Portable, the controversial Nigerian singer, has been caught on video ordering his associates to beat up a car dealer over alleged failure to deliver his new vehicle.

In an Instagram live, the ‘Zazoo Zeh’ hitmaker was seen interrogating the dealer, who was seated on the floor, regarding the whereabouts of his car.

The singer said he had been expecting the vehicle from the United States for over two weeks, but the dealer had “consistently provided excuses”.

Portable alleged that the dealer had misled him about the car’s status, initially claiming customs seized it. He said upon investigation, he discovered it was “untrue”.

“Where is my car? I will destroy your life. Do you want to kill me or scam me?” he asked.

“He helped me ship a new car from America. It has been two weeks and I have not gotten my car.

“I was supposed to announce the purchase of the car on social media yesterday but he has been deceiving me.

“He told me the car was seized by customs. I got to the customs office, but there was nothing.

“Why could you not tow it? When I called him about my car yesterday, he told me to come to Owode.

“When I got there he said he was at Idiroko, I drove there from Island. So I told him to enter my car and I drove him down to my house.”

Nobody is your friend in the music industry, says Reminisce

Nigerian rapper Reminisce has opened up about how he implemented boundaries in his industry relationships, stressing that not everyone around him is a friend.

Speaking during a recent interview with Naija FM, when asked about how he handles fame, the rapper explained that his early experiences taught him a tough lesson about fame and the music industry.

He explained, “Fame is a drug that gets one high and clouds judgment. One of the things I did in life earlier on was to realise that nobody is my friend.”

“That’s probably why many people don’t like me, if someone has worked with me and you find out that we had issues, if you find out what happened, it would probably have been because I made my decision and stood by it. I have learned that at the end of the day, na me go suffer the consequences,” he added, emphasising the need for boundaries.

Reminisce narrated how he learned earlier in his career that he had no friends within the industry, and as he became more successful, he learned to be careful about who he trusted to be around him.

“You know that when it comes to humans, they turn you into an enemy if they aren’t favoured, especially monetarily. It took a while before I became famous and I even had a child beforehand, so the first thing I got to understand is that nobody is your friend, you can be kind and you can assist but the first mistake you can make in this music industry is thinking everyone is your friend. Nobody is your friend,” said the rapper.

Reminisce advises aspiring artists to be aware of their surroundings, “We all want the same thing so there is no way you’d think everyone is your friend,” he explained. “It is very normal to have people around you when you’re hot and popping and it is your responsibility as a famous person to determine what you want. Not everyone around you wants you to succeed.”

‘If you had powers, your two wives would still be alive’ — VeryDarkMan replies Lazarus Muoka

VeryDarkMan, the controversial activist, has hit back at Lazarus Muoka, the general overseer of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries, for calling him out.

The church has been under scrutiny since clips of the members sharing their strange testimonies went viral on social media.

In a recent video, Muoka called out VeryDarkMan, saying he was told the activist “made negative comments about my church”.

The cleric alleged that the social media influencer said “Chosen members will learn the hard way”.

Mouka said he told the person “VeryDarkMan is learning something today in a hard way” — implying that the activist is in a difficult situation due to his remarks about Chosen.

Reacting via his Instagram page, VeryDarkMan questioned Muoka’s powers, citing his “wives’ mysterious deaths”.

The social media influencer also criticised the church testimonies, referring to them as “exaggerated and ridiculous”.

“If you had this power, your two wives would still be alive. In 2010 you lost your first wife, Joy Muoka and then again you lost your second wife, ‘Pastor Ngozi Muoka. You should have worn ‘They are chosen’ clothes on their body so they would not have died,” he said.

“… miracle happens but not in the way your church members explain. They are exaggerating it.”

It was gathered that Mouka’s first wife died in 2010. His second wife was said to have passed away in July last year. She was buried buried last month.

Atinuke Kazeem, the Nigerian actress better known as Mama No Network, has opened up about her broken marriage to Baba Lanko, her colleague.

In an interview with actress Biola Bayo, Mama No Network revealed how she and Baba Lanko initially worked together to produce films.

She said their relationship, however, began to crumble after he found success and sought to marry another woman.

She claimed that after the dissolution of their marriage, Lanko blocked her from appearing in the same films as him. She added that but now, he hires her for roles.

“My ex-husband, Lanko, and I worked hard to produce many films. But when money and fame came, he told me he wanted to marry a new wife,” she said.

“After we parted ways, he told producers not to feature me in the same projects as him. Today, however, he now uses his money to call me for movie roles, and I give glory to God.”

The actress also recounted the struggles she faced with infertility during their marriage, including undergoing extreme measures like drinking kerosene, which made her bloated.

She added that God eventually “answered her prayers” by making her conceive naturally.

“I wasn’t the one who left the marriage; he simply stopped coming home. During our time together, I faced immense difficulties while trying to have a child. I went through hell,” she added.

“At one point, I was given kerosene to drink. All those desperate measures affected me, leading to my bloated stomach. When I finally gave up hope, God answered my prayers, and the pregnancy came naturally.”

In May 2023, Mama No Network remarried. She tied the knot to a younger partner.
