American artiste, Esquare has explained his perspective after Portable accused him and his team members of assaulting him.

Controversial Portable claimed to have been attacked by 30 to 40 individuals over his charge for a feature in a video which resulted in serious injuries.

The ‘Zazu’ crooner noted that he had been paid 2.5 million initially to feature in a song but requested N1 million extra to feature in the video shoot.

According to him, he had gone for the shoot in Ajah where he successfully featured in the video.

He, however, revealed that he was attacked by 30 to 40 people after the director of the video left the venue.

In a recent development, Portable shared videos of him on a hospital bed, accusing Nigerians of turning a blind eye to is assault and asking whether Nigerians seek justice for the dead alone.

However, sharing his side of the story, Esqaure said: “I am Dr Fortunate and Prince and we are Esquare. There is a viral video going on where my brother and I happened to be on those videos. I just want to address the public misconception because a lot of false information was given out.

“Sometimes last year May, our manager in the United States contacted Portable’s manager and they reached an agreement on the collaboration. We agreed on N2.5 million. When we paid the N1.5 million, the beat was sent to Portable’s manager and he did his version and brought it back to us and we made some changes and everything came out perfect.

“We agreed that the music video would be done on September 23rd. My brought and I made the necessary arrangements on how to fly down to Nigeria to do the music video, and we saw on his manager’s Instagram handle that he would be on a tour during that time.

“We decided to postpone it to the festive period in December, which Portable’s manager agreed to. Then we had a change of mind and wanted to do the video shoot in Houston, Texas where we are based, since he was on tour in the US but Portable’s manager declined.

“A date was later fixed for September 21st. He failed to show up on time to the music video shoot and when we called our manager to inform his manager of the appointment, our manager realized that Portable’s manager had sent a message canceling the shoot as it was too far from Portable’s location which is Sango, Ogun State.

“Through a friend, we were able to reach Portable directly. At first, he denied us and asked for proof, which we sent to him and he demanded an extra N1 million, claiming that his manager had collected N500,000 from the N1 million they sent to him.

“We gave him the money and even had to drive from Ajah, Lekki to Ogun State to pick him up and when we got to the location, he started exhibiting erratic behaviour and demanded we make it snappy since he has out her engagements. When we tried talking things with him after the shoot about the extra money we paid him, he flared up and said he was a member of a cult group and would call Area boys to cancel the event and kill us.”
