Popular Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, has broken his silence following reports that he was stopped from performing at Taye Currency’s concert in Ibadan. The controversial artist, known for his energetic performances and candid remarks, took to social media to set the record straight.
The ‘Zazuu Zeh’ crooner sparked online discussions after his noticeable absence from a show organized by Fuji maestro Taye Currency. Many speculated that he was barred from performing due to his controversial remarks about Ibadan.
Last year, Portable shared details about a sour love affair with his estranged girlfriend, Queen Dami. In the same video, he criticized residents of Ibadan, Oyo State, claiming they lacked basic housing roofing accessories like Plaster-of-Paris (POP), which he argued was commonly used in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria.
In a video shared online, Portable dismissed the rumors surrounding his absence from the concert. The singer explained that he was unwell on the day of the event and could not attend, contrary to claims that he was barred from performing.
In his words, “They lied. I was in my house because I was under the weather. More so, they paid N1M instead of N5M. I will never go where I am not loved.”
