Portable reportedly abandoned the rules of the contest by throwing punches instead of executing takedowns, prompting officials to disqualify him and hand Charles the win.
Rather than concede defeat, the Zazuu crooner went public with a different version of events. Portable told people that Charles had bitten him on the back and applied a tight grip around his neck during the bout.
He also maintained that, as a star, he should not have been involved in such an encounter in the first place.
Charles Okocha Calls Out Portable’s Story
Appearing on TVC Entertainment, Charles wasted no time dismantling the claim. He pointed out that he had been wearing a mouth guard throughout the match, which would have made biting physically impossible. From there, his response took a more colourful turn.
The actor questioned whether anyone had actually looked at Portable’s skin, adding that he would sooner chew grass than put his mouth anywhere near the singer.
He even brought up the risk of rabies as part of his rebuttal, making clear that the allegation was beneath him.
In his words:
“Portable has been going around telling people I bit him on the back. I was wearing a mouth guard; how is that even possible? He was just lying. I would rather chew grass than bite him. I don’t want to catch rabies. Have you seen how Portable’s skin looks? Hell no, I wouldn’t do that. He should just accept defeat.”
Okocha Urges Portable to Accept the Result
Beyond the sharp commentary, Charles’s central message was straightforward: Portable lost the match and needs to own it.
The disqualification, he stressed, was the result of the singer’s own decision to break the contest’s rules, not any foul play on his part.
The exchange has drawn attention to what was already a high-profile celebrity clash, with Charles now firmly standing by his version of events.
