Fast rising artiste, Portable, has criticized two Italian show promoters after missing his gig in Padova.
Late on Sunday, Portable criticized the show’s promoters for their lack of professionalism in an Instagram post.
He said that they failed to make sufficient hotel reservations for him and his crew and arrived late to pick him up from the airport.
The singer said, “On faithful Saturday 29th October 2022, I arrived from Dusseldorf Germany alongside my team at 16:20 at Venice airport (Marco Polo, Italy) and waited for over two hours before the so-called promoters came (Blessed entertainment and Alex Jeffizy). They couldn’t even pay the taxi guy the complete fares not until my Manager paid off the fares.”
He claimed that the driver arrived later than anticipated when he was to be picked up and taken to the location.
“Alex and driver came back at 3:40am to pick us to the venue. The driver repeatedly missed the route and we spent over two hours 40 minutes on the road instead of 50 minutes.
“On getting closer to the venue, we discovered there had been shooting, stabbing and arson in the venue. Even Jeffizy himself received a series of calls that we should not come to the venue because there has been a serious massacre and we should back off,” he said.
Portable said that he was forced to pay a sum of €2000.
He said, “We forced the driver to stop the car before getting to the dangerous scene. Unknowingly for us that they got their thugs around the corner and they collected the car key and demanded €2,000 which my manager gave to them to enable us to leave the unsafe scene.
“Jeffizy collected the money and Blessing Olise knows about it. Italy promoters are not real promoters but scammers and lame people.
“Prostitute ladies claiming to be promoters and uncivilised men that took boats to Europe claiming to be promoters. I warned every Nigerian artist to abstain from any so-called Nigerian Italy-based promoters.”
