Controversial Nigerian singer, Portable, has shared details about his recent time in prison, recounting the experience of being in a cell with accused criminals.

During his recent interview on The Echooroom Podcast, the singer recalled being thrown into the cell after being arrested for assaulting Ogun state government officials. He narrated how he gave his cellmates money upon his arrival, thus forming a rapport with them.

When I first got to the government, I told them that I'm not crazy. When I got into the cell, cell 4, I blessed my cellmates with money. I didn't carry money into the cell but we were able to withdraw money na.

They normally beat up new people in the cell o, and when I got there the marshall came down from his seat to become the leader somehow. I had to remind myself that this is not my house, I was surrounded by different kinds of men.
