Portable cries out over frozen bank account
Nigerian street-pop sensation Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has taken to social media to raise alarm over a troubling issue with his First Bank account.
In a video that has since gone viral, the controversial artist revealed that although his account continues to receive deposits, he has been unable to access or withdraw his funds.
Speaking in a surprisingly calm tone, Portable appealed to First Bank to urgently address the situation. He expressed deep concern about visiting the bank’s branch in person, especially in light of the recent arrest of online personality Verydarkman (VDM). VDM was reportedly apprehended at a GTBank branch over alleged illegal withdrawals from his mother’s account; a development that has left Portable wary of experiencing a similar ordeal.
Addressing widespread speculation, the Zazoo Zeh hitmaker firmly denied any involvement in fraudulent activities, insisting that his earnings come from legitimate sources such as music streams, endorsements, and live performances.
In a separate video, Portable made a startling claim, stating that his First Bank account holds over N400 billion. He disclosed that he recently received payments from global music platform Apple Music and emphasized his urgent need to access his funds.
As of now, First Bank is yet to issue an official statement regarding the matter.
