According to reports, the opposition from Ibadan people for Portable not to perform at Taye Currency’s show gained momentum, and the Zazu crooner was nowhere to be seen during the concert for safety reasons.
It was gathered that Portable was in Ibadan for the show and was also lodged at a hotel close to The Palms Mall venue but was not allowed to perform.
According to Tribune Online, Taye Currency’s concert management, JaRule Entertainment, explained Portable’s absence at the show.
