In a recent video, Portable claimed that there were no protests in Sango, Ogun State, where he resides.
He explained that since previous protests had been ignored by the government, he and others in his area chose to concentrate on their daily work instead.
The singer’s comments sparked outrage among fans, leading to a significant drop in his follower count. Reports indicate that within 12 hours of posting the video, Portable lost 100,000 followers, with many fans acting on their threats to unfollow him.

Further backlash is expected, with more fans warning that they will also unfollow him if he continues to make such statements.
This incident follows a previous video where Portable compared himself to billionaire Aliko Dangote and dismissed protests as activities for the less privileged.
His recent remarks have intensified the discontent among his audience, highlighting the growing tension between public figures and their supporters over sensitive social issues.
