This squad overhaul comes right in the thick of legal issues in Ogun State, where Portable’s been tangled up in cases that have kept him in the news. The artist, known for his rugged tunes and fearless vibe, is clearly out to reset his hustle despite the heat.
The past year has been a wild ride for Portable, with more drama than a Nollywood blockbuster. Between court appearances in Ogun State over alleged assaults and unpaid debts, plus a string of cancelled shows, his old team couldn’t keep the ship steady. Now, with Mallam Yankee stepping up, Portable is betting on a new dawn.
The announcement has sparked mad reactions on X and Instagram, with his Zeh Nation faithful hyping him up for the bold move. Since bursting out with “Zazuu Zeh” in 2021, Portable’s been a force, and this management switch might just be the fuel to keep his fire burning.

Portable’s new management, new vibe
Portable’s 2024 was a proper mess—legal battles in Ogun State, promoter conflicts, gigs that never happened, copyright issue with Saheed Osupa. He dumped his old crew for Mallam Yankee which many feel is a power move.
Yankee’s job will likely be to sort out bookings and keep the logistics tight, letting Portable focus on spitting bars and thrilling crowds.
