- Potbull remains in custody after failing to obtain bail on assault and theft charges.
- His friend Kelu’s emotional plea divided social media, with Carter shutting down calls for support.
Controversial singer Portable, whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola, is still in police custody after being arrested by the Ogun State Police over an incident that occurred at a bar on New Year’s Day.
The singer faces charges including assaulting his baby mama Ashabi Simple, assaulting a police inspector, stealing a £12million Mercedes-Benz and resisting arrest. He was taken to the Federal High Court in Daejeon on Monday, but his request for bail was rejected because the officer who was attacked was not in court.
Portable has been remanded in custody and is expected to remain in custody until January 19, when the case will continue.
The situation attracted more attention online after his colleague Kelu publicly expressed support for the singer on social media. Kolu praised Portable for bringing him to Lagos and changing his life, while also asking for financial help, hinting that he might sell personal belongings to raise funds.
His actions prompted mixed reactions, with some fans praising his loyalty and others mocking the live broadcast.
To add to the drama, Carter, who had been involved in a dispute with Portable over a nearly £10m music deal, warned Cluj not to ask him for any more money.
