Not stopping there, the actor placed his focus on foreign-based controversial social media star, Esabod, who had on different occasions insulted the association’s leaders.
Portable seemed very enraged that she had the audacity to say negative things about one of their veterans, Iya Awero, after claiming that she could not walk well because she used to sleep around.
The actor explained that it seemed TAMPAN’s leaders were afraid to retaliate and were taking the insults. According to him, that should not be so because the organisation is theirs to control how they see fit.

Portable added that nobody was being forced to be a part of TAMPAN and they should leave if they were not pleased with it. He however added that they should not then watch others rubbish what they had built.
According to him, he would not keep quiet if others decide to do so, adding that TAMPAN’s president, Mr Latin, seemed to be scared of Esabod.
The angry actor then called on the association's leaders and members to wake up and not let others bastardise their industry.

Portable clears the air, says his issue is with Esabod, not Mr Latin
In a subsequent post, Portable decided to clear the air and explain that his initial video was not to disrespect TAMPAN’s president, Mr Latin.
According to him, Latin has always been a peacemaker and some people were trying to take advantage of them to destroy his legacy.
He then reiterated that his grouse was with Esabod and how she continues to rubbish TAMPAN leaders on social media by interfering in their issues.
According to him, Esabod was only using their issues to grow her YouTube channel to make money.
Portable then asked again what gave her the right to speak negatively about their industry’s veterans such as Iya Rainbow, Iya Awero and Elesho.
The actor made it known that he wanted to see her power and what she was capable of. He added that he is very ready for her and warned her to stay out of TAMPAN’s issues.

"The matter was not handled properly from the beginning. If the matter had being dealt with through the mechanism of the association and not allow princess and iyabo to drag the matter in the public court, things wouldn't have degenerated to this low. Even if baba ijesha would still be charge to court internal mechanism would have safe the face of the association."
