Celebrating his freedom in his latest song, the self-proclaimed ‘Wahala musician’ stated that he is a child of grace, adding that he can never be disgraced.
“I am a child of Grace. Latest glory. From star to the eagle, come and see grace wey no dey disgrace. They carried me to prison but I didn’t wear their cloth. Leave me alone. I am not a prisoner,” he sings.
Portable is facing a three-count charge bothering on assault and theft of musical equipment.
The hearing of the case will commence on April 26, 2023.
