Nigerian music star Portable has ignited a social media firestorm with serious allegations against his own father, accusing him of theft and financial exploitation. The controversial singer, whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola, made the shocking claims in a heated video shared on his Instagram page on Tuesday, January 6, 2026.
Explosive Allegations of Theft and Demands for Money
In the emotional video, Portable directly accused his father of misconduct, stating his life was better without his involvement. The Zeh Nation boss claimed his father had taken all his shoes and clothes while also aggressively pursuing his other properties.
Portable further alleged a pattern of extortion, stating that his father had obtained the contact details of his baby mamas and was repeatedly demanding money from them. He expressed deep frustration over his father's absence during his struggles, claiming he received no support in his education or career journey.
"You're alive and my life still dey spoil. Anytime I have a police case, my Dad will never show up for me. What is your importance in my life?" Portable questioned in the video. "You didn’t send me to school. You don't take care of me. You don't pay for my land."
Financial Betrayal and a Chilling Comparison
The singer detailed an instance of alleged financial cheating, relating it to a building project. He claimed that when he entrusted his father to handle the construction of a house, costs were grossly inflated. "A block of N300,000 he will call it N900,000," Portable alleged.
The most striking part of his outburst was a direct comparison to a recent high-profile celebrity family dispute. Portable likened his father's actions to those of the late singer Mohbad's father, referencing the public and legal battles over Mohbad's estate in 2023.
"You are just like Baba Mohbad, you are always wearing my shoes and clothes. You can never inherit me. I will not allow you to do to me what they did to Mohbad," he declared, ending his rant by demanding his father leave him alone.
Nigerian Netizens React to the Family Drama
The video quickly went viral, sparking intense debate online. Legit.ng compiled reactions showing a divided public. Some users supported Portable's right to speak out, while others criticized his approach.
User @skincity_by_moonstone commented: "This guy is saying the truth but una no go let him talk his mind….Shey if d father na good father e go dey do like this."
Others focused on the familial disrespect. @adejare_stephen opined: "Portable, no matter the issues... the way you spoke about him publicly is not right. Family problems should be handled with maturity and privately... At the end of the day, he is still your father."
User @24Pelumi summed up a common sentiment: "Imagine your own father turning into your biggest problem. Money really destroys families."
This public airing of grievances follows recent drama in Portable's personal life. He had previously pleaded for forgiveness from his wife, Bewaji, during a TikTok live session after a clash involving his fourth baby mama, Ashabi Simple. He declared Bewaji his only legally recognized wife, admitting to having children outside the marriage.
