During an appearance on TVC Entertainment, Okocha dismissed Portable's allegations, stating, "I would rather chew grass than bite him. I donโ€™t want to catch rabies. Have you seen how Portableโ€™s skin looks? Hell no, I wouldnโ€™t do that. He should just accept defeat."

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.
