With the intervention of Olamide, Portable reunited with Poco Lee and also apologized for overstepping with show promoter, Kogbagidi.
Unfortunately, this was not to be the end of the drama as he returned in January 2022 in a viral video where he demanded his car, money from Kogbagidi.

The Zazu crooner made the news once again in March 2022 for what should have been pleasant reasons.

The street-hop artiste once again went on a no-filter mode as he publicly called out a former boss he identified as Mr Yussuf.
