Story Highlights
Nigerian street-pop artist Portable, in a viral video posted on January 7, 2026, accused his father of stealing his personal items and hindering his progress. The singer explicitly likened his father to the controversial dad of late singer Mohbad, claiming his life runs smoother when his parent is absent.
Street-hop sensation Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has sparked a fresh wave of reactions on social media after dragging his father, Mr. Olalomi, in a heated video.
The singer released the clip on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, where he lamented the negative impact his father reportedly has on his life and career.
Portable did not hold back his frustration, warning his father to stop acting like the dad of late singer Mohbad, a figure often criticized for his handling of his son’s legacy.
Life falls apart
The Zazu crooner stated that his life usually becomes chaotic whenever his father is near him.
Portable claimed that peace only returns to his daily activities when he distances himself from his dad.
According to the singer, Mr. Olalomi frequently takes his personal belongings, including shoes and clothes, without permission.
This desire to distance himself from perceived negative energy mirrors his recent online battles, where Portable accuses Cubana Chiefpriest of seeking contracts from the presidency rather than focusing on entertainment.
The artist questioned why his father would want to reap where he did not sow, insisting that he is a “hero” who deserves better treatment.
Portable urged his fans to plead with his father on his behalf, asking the older man to let him enjoy his success in peace.
Childhood neglect claims
Beyond the current theft accusations, Portable dug into his past to highlight a history of neglect.
The Zazu Zeh hitmaker revealed that his father refused to support his dreams of learning a trade when he was younger.
Portable explained that he wanted to learn tailoring, but his dad would not pay for the training fees.
This lack of support stands in contrast to the singer’s belief in his own influence, as Portable claims he gave Olamide international recognition during their collaboration, suggesting he made it to the top despite his father’s indifference.
He expressed deep hurt that the man who refused to pay for his “learning tailor” now wants to dominate his finances and property.
The video ended with Portable declaring that his father acts as a blockage to his progress, further cementing the comparison to Mohbad’s father.
