Portable reacts as Zlatan, Davido mock Kogbagidi

Legit.ng earlier reported how Nigerian controversial singer and Zazuu Zeh crooner Portable reacted to a video of Davido, Zlatan Ibile and Kogbagidi, which happened to have been taken during a video shoot.

The video showed Davido and Zlatan teasing Kogbagidi, who was smiling as they called him Zazuu virus.
