The video starred some reactions online and was demanded an investigation. However, Portable denied being the leader as he said he was talking about his 1 Million Instagram followers.
In March 2023, Portable shared a video of him insulting and harassing policemen doing their duties. In the video, he said thus "I am a Baboon, I live in the zoo" which became a thing for comedy skit creators. Portable was later arrested by the Ogun State Police to face due punishment.
