‎
‎Reacting to Ibrahim Chatta's loss, Portable in a video message on his Instagram page accused the entertainment industry of ganging up against the actor.

‎
‎Portable said:
‎"My fans, there is a gang up in the Nigerian entertainment industry, even in Nollywood. They didn’t give Ibrahim Chatta an award at the 11th AMVCA despite his impeccable acting. That was how I was also snubbed by The Headies Awards.

‎
‎“We don’t need awards. We need food, we need money. We have money but we can’t use money to buy awards like some persons.

‎
‎Ibrahim Chatta, if they don’t award you, God will reward you. My boss, you are my mentor. I love you.”
