Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Portable, is back in the studio following his recent release from police custody.
On Thursday, Portable shared a preview of his upcoming song, “Spiderman,” which draws inspiration from his recent arrest related to his G-Wagon SUV payment issues.
Produced by 2tuponthebeat, “Spiderman” references Portable’s dramatic escape, likening himself to the superhero’s agility as he jumped over a gate to avoid arrest.
The incident, captured on video and circulated widely on Tuesday, shows the singer, dressed in a white and black striped shirt, scaling a gate and fleeing, accompanied by eight others.
After spending 24 hours in custody, the “Zazuu” hitmaker was released upon meeting the bail conditions set by the authorities.
This latest episode is just one of many in Portable’s history of controversies.

In March 2023, the Ogun State Police Command arrested Portable for verbally abusing and physically handling some police officers in two viral video clips. When summoned for questioning, Portable initially refused to cooperate, leading the police to issue a 72-hour ultimatum, culminating in his arrest.
In a separate incident, Portable was detained again by Ogun State police and faced charges of assault and theft at the Ifo Magistrates’ Court. He was held at the Ilaro Correctional Centre and later released after satisfying his bail conditions.
Portable continues to turn his legal troubles into creative fuel, with “Spiderman” being his latest artistic response to his tumultuous encounters with the law.
copied: Portable just dropped a new song. He used the voice over from his arrest video as the intro. I said it yesterday, this guy doesn’t disappoint.
