The ‘Zazzu’ crooner was nabbed on Tuesday following his alleged refusal to pay the debt he incurred when he purchased G-Wagon from Unique Motors, a car dealer in the state.

The car dealer reportedly took the matter to the police, leading to the arrest of the singer.

On Saturday, January 6, 2024, the singer, who had been an ambassador for the brand, expressed grievances over a Brabus G wagon he purchased from them, which was later involved in an accident.

Portable emphasized that he is still in possession of the automobile’s documents and hinted at considering an ambassadorial deal from another car company.
