Portable Defends His Home Amidst Trolls Over Reconciliation with Queen Dami
Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has addressed social media trolls who criticized his ex-girlfriend, Queen Dami, for allegedly returning to him. The Zazu crooner expressed his frustration with those he believes are attempting to disrupt his personal life.
Portable’s Stand Against Critics
In a video shared on his social media, Portable did not hold back, lashing out at trolls and accusing them of trying to “scatter” his home with negative commentary. He wrote:
"Oba ba lori everybody. Na una dey scatter my home online, eyin oloriburuku somebody."
(Translation: “The king rules over everyone. You are the ones scattering my home online, you cursed individuals.”)
This reaction came after rumors surfaced that Queen Dami, the last wife of the late Oyo monarch, had reconciled with Portable, sparking online backlash.
Public Scrutiny and Celebrity Relationships
Portable’s outburst sheds light on the intense scrutiny public figures face, especially regarding their personal relationships. While fans and critics often feel entitled to comment on celebrities’ lives, the pressure can lead to emotional outbursts, as seen in Portable’s case.
It’s no secret that the singer thrives on controversy, but his recent statements highlight a more vulnerable side—one of a man trying to protect his family amidst relentless public judgment.
Opinion: Respecting Personal Boundaries
While Portable’s approach to addressing critics is undeniably brash, his frustration is understandable. Relationships are deeply personal, and the added weight of public opinion can strain even the strongest bonds.
This situation also raises a broader question about the role of social media in shaping narratives around celebrities. While fans have the right to their opinions, the line between constructive criticism and unwarranted intrusion is often blurred.
As Portable navigates this challenging time, perhaps his story serves as a reminder that behind the fame and headlines are individuals striving for peace and stability in their personal lives. After all, as Portable aptly said, “Oba ba lori everybody”—everyone deserves their space to rule their own domain.
