Shock at Skyhome: Portable Claims He Was Injected On Stage, Left with Broken Leg

In a dramatic twist that has rocked the Nigerian entertainment scene, controversial street-hop singer Portable has alleged that he was mysteriously injected with an unknown substance during a recent live performance — an incident he says resulted in a broken leg. The Zazu crooner, known as much for his explosive personality as for his music, made the startling claim in a video that has since gone viral on social media, leaving fans stunned and speculating about what really went down that night.

According to Portable, the bizarre incident occurred during a show at the popular Lagos nightclub Skyhome, where he had been invited to perform. What was meant to be another high-energy set quickly spiraled into chaos when, as Portable puts it, someone in the crowd reached out and injected him with an unknown substance mid-performance. The singer, clearly shaken, described the crowd as massive and overly charged, but said he had been doing his best to interact with fans when the unthinkable happened.

In the video, a visibly agitated Portable narrated the scene with his trademark gesticulations, claiming that the environment at Skyhome had been overwhelming from the start. “The crowd was too much,” he said. “Everybody wanted to touch me, everybody dey rush me. Before I know, person don inject me for leg.” He said the moment he felt the needle enter his skin, he immediately turned around and struck the alleged attacker with his microphone in self-defense.

Portable stated that the attacker fled the scene before security could intervene, leaving the singer in immense pain and confusion. “Na God save me,” he added, insisting that his instincts kicked in fast enough to retaliate and prevent further harm. He went on to show visible bruising and bandages in the video, claiming that his leg was now broken as a result of the fracas that ensued.

Fans online have reacted with a mix of concern, skepticism, and bewilderment. While some expressed worry about Portable’s safety and called for a thorough investigation, others questioned the authenticity of the story, citing the singer’s history of controversial statements and erratic public appearances. Still, even his staunchest critics admitted that the footage of his current condition seemed to confirm he had sustained real injuries.

The footage shows Portable seated with a heavily bandaged leg, grimacing in pain and visibly distressed. His energy — usually untamable and electric — was noticeably dimmed, replaced by a mixture of anger, fear, and confusion. “Dem wan finish me, but dem no fit,” he declared. “Wetin I do wey person go dey inject me for show?”

Attempts to contact Skyhome for comment have so far yielded no response. The venue has not issued a statement, nor has it confirmed whether there was an official report of the alleged incident made to security personnel that night. Eyewitnesses at the event have remained largely silent on social media, with only a few sparse accounts that vaguely corroborate the chaos but stop short of confirming the injection claim.

This incident comes at a time when Portable has been trying to rebrand himself and take his career more mainstream. Known for his breakout hit “Zazu Zeh” and a string of street anthems, he has spent the past year attempting to shift public perception from wild street act to serious musician. But controversies seem to follow him like a shadow. From social media spats to public outbursts and police run-ins, Portable has remained a fixture in the gossip columns, and this latest episode only adds to the ever-growing narrative that surrounds his larger-than-life persona.

If his claims are true, it raises serious questions about security at public performances in Nigeria, especially for artists who thrive on direct interaction with their fans. The notion that someone could breach personal space so closely as to inject a performer mid-set is not only terrifying, but deeply alarming. It speaks to a broader concern about artist safety in environments that are often chaotic, poorly controlled, or lacking in adequate security protocols.

Portable has vowed to get to the bottom of the incident, hinting in his video that he might take legal or personal action once he has fully recovered. “Dem think say I go quiet? No way,” he said, his tone darkening. “Person wey do this go hear am. I no be small pikin.”

This isn’t the first time a Nigerian artist has raised concerns about safety at events. From stage invasions to unruly fans and even theft, performers have repeatedly warned about the dangers of performing in poorly managed venues. But the idea of an injection — and a broken leg to top it off — pushes the narrative into new and disturbing territory.

Whether this story turns out to be as straightforward as Portable presents it or there are other elements yet to be revealed, it has already added another bizarre chapter to the ongoing saga that is his career. The artist, despite the odds, has managed to remain relevant in an ever-evolving industry where hype often overshadows substance. And in this moment, he’s once again at the center of attention — this time not for a new track or headline-grabbing statement, but for a chilling story that has left fans with more questions than answers.

As of now, Portable has said he is resting and receiving treatment for his injuries. He has not revealed whether a hospital or doctor has officially diagnosed the injection or the broken leg, and there’s been no confirmation of a police investigation. Regardless, the singer insists he won’t be silenced and that his attackers — whoever they may be — will not have the last word.

Social media is still buzzing, with the hashtag #PrayForPortable trending across X and Instagram. Many are waiting for updates, others are digging for clues, and some are simply trying to make sense of what seems like yet another wild twist in the ever-dramatic life of Portable. But for now, the questions hang heavy in the air: What really happened at Skyhome that night? Who was behind the mysterious injection? And what does this mean for the future safety of Nigeria’s performing artists?

Only time — and maybe another explosive Portable video — will tell.
