Nigerian singer Portable has retracted his earlier statement about using the name Elizabeth Joyce for Yahoo, a term used to describe online fraud.
In a recent video, Portable claimed that the name Elizabeth Joyce on his Instagram profile was due to a Facebook account he had created to practice Yahoo. However, he has now denied these claims, stating that he was set up by popular video creator Egungun.
Portable took to his Instagram page to clear the air, saying, “I don’t steal, I’m not a thief, I’m not a killer, I don’t sleep with other people’s wives… I don’t steal and I’ve never done Yahoo.”
He explained that when he mentioned “working account,” he meant the account he used to find legitimate work and feed himself. Portable also claimed that Egungun had paid him millions to appear in the video and had advised him to reveal the truth about his Instagram name.
Portable’s word:
“I value those who value me. My fans, I am a powerful and blessed man. I don’t steal, I am not a thief, I’m not a killer, I don’t sleep with other people’s wives, my fans I don’t steal and I’ve never done Yahoo oo.
“When I said my working account, it’s the account I was using to find money to feed myself. See the strength I have, I no longer use it to find trouble, I want to use it to find money.
“The power that I have, I want to use it to work and cash out money. Egungun set me up oo, Egungun brought his camera and he paid me millions, he advised me and came to greet me at my Odogwu bar in my area in Sango.
“He asked me about why my account has the name Elizabeth Joyce and I told him it’s because I use Joy soap to bathe and that I opened the account with the name, I was using it to work legit.
“All the Nigerians and foreigners, I use that account to chat with them because my location and everything is on. My people, all the cards and phones I collected were legit, this my face that blew is the one they saw.”
The singer’s denial has sparked mixed reactions from Nigerians, with some expressing skepticism about his claims.
