Now, Osupa’s team, in a press release, have not only annnounced a withdrawal but also clarified the reason for the initial legal charges against Portable.

They stated that the proceedings were filed as a response to what they regarded a gross violation of intellectual property rights and an unacceptable pattern of defamation and public misconduct. 

They went on to add that the legal case aimed to serve as a precedent to deter unruly behaviour and promote responsibility, especially among younger artists.
