His arraignment followed a petition by singer Saheed Osupa. Ruling on the singer’s bail, the court noted that it is conditional upon the provision of two sureties in like sum.
The court noted that one of the sureties must be either the Chairman or Secretary of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN), while the other must possess a landed property within a Government Reserved Area, backed by a valid Certificate of Occupancy (CO).
The rift between the two artistes began last month when Portable’s song was removed from Apple Music and Spotify due to copyright infringement.
Portable had used a line synonymous with Osupa’s style, leading to Osupa’s team filing a complaint.
The ‘Zazoo Zeh’ hitmaker initially called out Osupa, using derogatory terms like “big for nothing,” which sparked backlash on social media.
However, Portable apologised to Osupa, blaming his temper for the outburst.
