Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has made serious allegations against his father, accusing him of neglect, manipulation, and financial exploitation. The accusations come amid renewed family disputes that recently escalated into a physical altercation between the singer and one of his children’s mothers, which went viral on social media.
Portable claimed that his father consistently distances himself during challenging times, such as police investigations or marital disputes, but maintains contact with his partners for personal gain. The singer alleged that his father prefers to reach out to his baby mamas for money, which has destabilized his relationships. Portable also accused his father of mismanaging funds meant for his building project, inflating prices of building materials, and taking advantage of his trust.
The singer stated that his father was absent during difficult times, including when he faced police issues or needed help with his family. Portable claimed that his father only showed interest in his life when he became famous and began to make money. The singer also alleged that his father scammed him on the purchase of building materials, quoting inflated prices for blocks and roofing materials.
Portable emphasized that he would protect his assets and children from alleged exploitation, stressing that his father would not inherit his wealth or possessions. The singer praised his aunt, Alhaja, who he credited with supporting him since childhood and standing by him during difficult moments. Portable’s aunt had raised him after his mother’s death and had been a source of support during his struggles.
The allegations made by Portable highlight the complexities of family relationships and the challenges faced by individuals in the public eye. As a popular figure in the Nigerian music industry, Portable’s personal life has been subject to scrutiny, and his recent outburst against his father has sparked widespread attention. The situation is a reminder of the importance of family support and the need for individuals to prioritize their well-being and relationships. With the allegations now public, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold and what steps Portable will take to address his concerns.
