In a series of Instagram posts announcing his arrival in London for his music tour, the ‘Zazuu’ crooner thanked famous socialite E-Money for sponsoring the trip.

Further thanking his supporters since the start of his music career, Portable stated, “I believe in God, my phone and sub. Any disappointment is a blessing Bizza Bizza.”
