Portable’s lookalike has publicly cried out after alleging that the singer is determined to confront him for performing his hit song at a live show and collecting money without authorization.
The doppelgänger, who shares a striking resemblance with the popular singer, took to social media to narrate his experience, calling on netizens to support him in the face of the threat. He claimed that many fans at the show had mistaken him for Portable due to their similar appearance and style, which unintentionally led to the confusion.
According to the man, he had performed Portable’s hit tracks during a recent show, drawing applause from fans who assumed they were seeing Portable himself. The combination of performing the same songs, his similar facial features, and his imitation of Portable’s mannerisms led to considerable attention and confusion among attendees.

However, Portable reportedly did not take kindly to this. The singer allegedly considered the act unacceptable, citing that the lookalike did not obtain permission to perform his songs and was potentially misleading fans with his uncanny resemblance. Reports suggest that Portable may have initiated steps to locate him, prompting the lookalike to publicly plead for his safety and express fear, referencing the tragic death of Mohbad as a warning of what could happen.
In one video clip shared online, the lookalike can be seen sporting Portable’s signature hairstyle and replicating his stage presence and gestures. Visibly distressed, he is heard saying in Yoruba: “Please don’t kill me the way they killed Mohbad,” highlighting his fear of potential retaliation from the singer or others loyal to him.
Netizens’ reactions …
The story quickly sparked a wide range of reactions on social media. While some users criticized the lookalike for impersonating Portable and profiting from his likeness without consent, others expressed concern for his safety and urged caution. One Twitter user, @OlusegunBigfish, remarked: “U wan collect food from potable mouth??? U don give ham percentage??? Ehnn😭😂,” reflecting a mix of humor and judgment over the situation.
The video of the incident continues to circulate widely, with netizens commenting on the potential consequences of impersonating celebrities and the blurred lines between homage and misrepresentation.
