Lawyers stormed out from their NBA concert during Portable’s performance in Abuja.
Glamtush reports that during an NBA concert for lawyers in Abuja, Portable was called to perform on stage and the reaction that greeted his arrival was everything but welcoming.
The lawyers who were seated for the event immediately took to their heels when he started performing. A lot of them wore expressions of disdain as they left with many stating that he was not the appropriate artist for such a prestigious event.
His performance also caused a lot of ruckus in the event area, disrupting the earlier organization of the concert. Portable is yet to make a statement on the people’s obvious disapproval of him and his performance.
Some netizens took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their thoughts on the performance of the controversial artiste at the NBA concert.

Some show organizers just don’t know where to draw the line, what happens to different artiste for different occasions?”
@bearded_lawyah said, “I just want to see the genius at the Planning Committee meeting that thought it’d be a good idea to bring Portable to #Unbarred because if they aren’t high on Odogwu Bitters, then they must be charged and bail lawyers because this thing no dey make sense no matter how you look am!”
@marcel_great said, “As #NigBarAssoc has decided to embarrass the bar with their choice of artiste for the unbarred concert, let it be known that we will visit the issue during next year’s election. What business does the NBA have with Portable? #afamosigwe we will remind you.”
