Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Portable, has stirred fresh online discussions after questioning the paternity timeline of actor Baba Ijesha's newly born son. The actor recently shared joyful news about the arrival of a baby boy with his wife, fashion designer CEO Luminee. Portable's comments have divided social media users, with some finding humor in his remarks while others defend the actor.
Baba Ijesha Announces Birth of Baby Boy
Baba Ijesha, who regained his freedom in November 2025, revealed that he and his wife had welcomed a healthy baby boy. In an Instagram post, he wrote: "In quiet ways, in unseen ways, God has been writing a story only He could tell. We thank the Almighty for blessing us with a healthy baby boy." The announcement was met with congratulations from fans and colleagues, but it also drew scrutiny from Portable.
Portable Questions Conception Timeline
In a video posted on his Instagram page, the Zazuu crooner questioned how the child could have been conceived, considering Baba Ijesha had been released from prison approximately seven months ago. Portable asked the actor to explain the timeline, suggesting that many people would naturally be curious about the circumstances. The singer further remarked that only a mother can truly know the biological father of a child, a statement that immediately attracted attention online. He also wondered whether Baba Ijesha and his partner may have maintained their relationship before his release from prison, leaving room for different interpretations.
