Controversial Nigerian singer Portable, known for his unpredictable antics, has sparked a storm online with his latest confession. During an Instagram live chat with media personality Daddy Freeze, the Zazu Zeh star revealed that he uses black magic, or “jazz,” to control the women in his life.
The singer, whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola, openly referred to himself as a Babalawo (traditional priest), explaining that he doesn’t engage with women without taking certain spiritual precautions. Portable claimed he used this method on a former lover, who was initially a fan introduced to him by a friend.
Portable shared, “Na woman dey make man para! When she wanted to meet me, my friend Don Rhymes brought her to me. I collected her phone and found out the kind of people she had been with — musicians, roadside guys, and more. I told her she must fear me if she fears no one else. I used jazz to tie her down. She couldn’t leave until I decided I was no longer interested.”
The singer added that the woman would still be with him if he hadn’t released her. His admission, delivered with characteristic braggadocio, sent shockwaves across social media.
Fans React to Portable’s Claims
The video of Portable’s confession has drawn mixed reactions from fans, with some expressing disbelief and others poking fun at the situation:
• @Queenlizzie: “This country is completely spoiled!”
• @YoungCoolest: “Portable has done a lot of bad things.”
• @Gemedia: “This is wahala pro max!”
• @OfficiallyMe: “How do people still take him seriously?”
While Portable’s antics often make headlines, this revelation has many questioning his limits and the implications of his behavior. However, the singer remains unapologetic, continuing to court controversy with every move.
