So many people in the city of Hamaden wanted a picture with Reza Parastesh who has a striking resemblance with football star Lionel Messi that police had to take him to the station and impounded his car to stop the chaos.

The fuss started a few months ago when the Lionel Messi lookalike’s dad made him pose in a number 10 Barcelona shirt.

The 25-year-old soon started cutting his hair and grooming his beard like the Argentina forward.

Parastesh finds himself constantly being asked for photos in his hometown of Hameden, Iran.

‘Now people really see me as the Iranian Messi and want me to mimic everything he does. When I show up somewhere, people are really shocked.

‘I’m really happy that seeing me makes them happy and this happiness gives me a lot of energy,’ he said.

Portable On How Zlatan Came Between His Relationship With Davido

Portable On How Zlatan Came Between Him and Davido | fab.ng

In a recent interview on Echo Room, Portable shed light on his relationship with Afrobeats superstar Davido. He claimed that things were going well between them until Zlatan, another prominent artist, interfered.

Earlier this year, Portable embarked on a tour of America. During this trip, he met up with Davido, who generously gifted him a pair of sneakers.

However, the situation took a turn for the worse. Portable later took to social media, launching into a tirade against Zlatan. He accused the fellow musician of spreading false information about him to Davido, potentially damaging their newfound connection.

Portable explained that he was in the United States, actively seeking collaborations with a foreign artist. It was during this time that he received an unexpected call from Davido, inviting him to hang out. The Street Pop star revealed that while spending time with Davido, Zlatan allegedly warned the Grammy nominee to be cautious about associating with Portable.

The fallout from this incident led to days of social media outbursts from Portable. He repeatedly accused Zlatan of sabotaging his relationship with Davido, expressing frustration and anger over the situation.

Eventually, Portable took a step back and apologized to Zlatan. This move was part of his broader efforts to mend broken relationships within the industry.

Zlatan isn’t the only celebrity Portable has clashed with in 2024. Earlier in the year, he found himself embroiled in a highly publicized dispute with socialite Bobrisky. The feud attracted significant attention on social media and in the press.

More recently, Portable resolved his differences with musician Goya Menor. Their disagreement stemmed from the 2022 Headies Best Street Pop Award, highlighting the competitive nature of the Nigerian music scene.

Despite these controversies, Portable continues to focus on his music career. He recently released a new single titled “Oriade,” which he performed during his interview session on Echo Room.
