Portable has lashed out at VeryDarkMan (VDM), the activist, who criticised him for allegedly assaulting a man during Felabration 2024.

Felabration, the annual event honouring Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, the late Afrobeat icon, ran from October 14 to 20, with Portable among the performers.

On Monday, VDM shared a video on Instagram showing Portable involved in a physical altercation with a man in a bathroom.

He condemned Portable’s behaviour and urged the victim to contact him so they can report the incident to the police.

In response, Portable warned VDM not to provoke him and threatened to beat him up if they ever crossed paths.

“Online madness is different from real-life madness,” he said.

“I will bend you, I will mend you, I will cripple you. I am a one-man battalion. If I catch you.

“You are using Abuja to threaten me. Go and ask about me in Maraba, Nyanya, and Babangida market. I am a Lagos boy.”

Portable defended his actions, claiming the man he allegedly assaulted owed him money for five shows and had disappeared for six months.

“My fans should understand who I was beating. We had a man-to-man fight. This guy collected money for five shows and disappeared for six months. Are you my manager?” Portable added.

The singer further accused the social media celebrity of meddling in his affairs.

He also suggested that VDM’s involvement could damage his relationships with influential figures who support him and other entertainers.

Don Jazzy, the founder of Mavin Records, has reacted to a recent claim made by Oluwadolarz, the Nigerian skit maker.

On Sunday, the content creator alleged that a gay music executive demanded sexual favours in exchange for promoting his music.

Although the online comedian did not mention names, he implied that he refused the proposal, citing his discomfort with it.

“You will promote my songs. Endorse my music, help me top chart. But make I first bend over make you enter my y*nsh. E.n.k.r sir,” he wrote.

Don Jazzy responded in the comment section of a blog post, questioning the validity of Oluwadolarz’s claim.

“Tag the person or it’s a lie, sir,” he wrote.

Oluwadolarz has yet to reply to Don Jazzy.

Born Ogunleye Babatunde Olamide, the skit maker is the CEO of Oluwadolarz Room of Comedy. He has become a household name in the Nigerian entertainment industry.

Oluwadolarz has also built a massive fanbase across various social media platforms.

Born Michael Ajereh, Don Jazzy is regarded as one of the biggest music executives in the Nigerian music industry.

Speed Darlington, the singer, has spoken online for the first time since his release from police custody.

Darlington, also known as Api, was released on bail on October 9 after spending five days in police custody in Abuja.

His detention stemmed from a complaint filed by Grammy winner Burna Boy, alleging defamation and cyberstalking.

During an Instagram live session, Darlington claimed the police “did me dirty” and seized his phone.

He emphasized that he holds no grudge against Burna Boy but questioned why a “mature person” would be angered by insults.

The singer also admitted ignorance of cybercrime laws, expressing surprise at their existence.

“Let me just be direct, I have no beef with Burna Boy. I and Burna Boy are not quarrelling, nor are we, enemies. It is the Nigerian police that did me dirty. They are still withholding my phone at the moment, and I do not have access to it,” he said.

“Burna Boy felt like I was spoiling something for him. The amount of effort Burna Boy put into this case. I feel like I am even more successful than him.

“He pays big money to blogs to push him, but I’m way bigger than him. But you, on the outside looking in, would not see it. I am stronger than Burna Boy. Back in 2016, they used to call me gay because I usually attended events alone, and they thought I was gay.

“The same thing happened to Burna, and now he is calling the police. I’m stronger than him. I was not aware of the cybercrime law. It surprised me that such laws exist. It’s childish for someone to get upset over an insult… why would you be angry because someone insulted you?”
