Recall that the ‘Zazu‘ crooner was spotted in a viral clip, showing the artiste in beige attire attempting to confront an unidentified individual while security personnel and bystanders tried to restrain him.

In the video, uniformed guards struggled to pull Portable toward a waiting vehicle in the parking lot as chaotic pushing and shoving ensued. At least one person appeared barefoot, while another wielded what looked like a belt or whip as the crowd watched.
