Portable had earlier accused the actor of refusing to pay him N20 million after an endorsement deal.

He claimed Okocha was paid N40 million but the actor refused to give him his own share of the money.

Reacting in a video shared via Instagram, Okocha said Portable had reached out to him for “friendship”.

The actor said he would later invite Portable to an event because he “wanted to help a brother”.

Okocha claimed the singer did nothing at the event but only “came to have fun with your crew and your wife”.

He said no agreements were signed and that he “transferred a whopping N5 million” to Portable after the event.

“Portable keep my name out of your damn mouth. I don’t do clout chasing, but it got to my notice that I needed to clear the atmosphere,” he said.

“I heard one n**ga, ‘Zazu’ or whatever, using my name for clout, saying all types of sh*t. Bro, in the first place, you told me that you wanted us to be friends and that nobody wanted to help you.

“Then, like a father will look at his son, I said okay, and we became friends. I had an event and I invited you to come over.

“I took you there for two nights and after everything, I transferred a whopping N5 million to you when you were leaving.

“The next thing you have to do is be disloyal. In the first place, did we sign any agreements? Was there any agreement as regards that? There is no agreement. I just helped a brother.

“You did nothing. You just came to have fun with your crew and your wife. I am a responsible man with two phenomenal kids.

“I have built this brand for a couple of years. You can’t come out and taint my image. I have got a reputation to maintain, so I need to come out and clear the air”.
