Portable Sparks Controversy with New Song for Tiwa Savage Following Recent Remarks
Lagos, Nigeria – Nigerian musician Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, better known as Portable, has once again found himself at the center of controversy, this time involving renowned singer Tiwa Savage.
Earlier this week, Portable went live on social media, making unsolicited comments about Tiwa Savage’s revealing photos, suggesting that the popular singer was “too old” for such public displays. He implied that younger artists should be the ones engaging in such behavior and even made suggestive remarks about what he could do with her.
His comments quickly stirred outrage, particularly among fans and fellow artists, who criticized his disrespectful tone toward his senior colleague in the industry.
Now, just days after his controversial live session, Portable has released a new track that appears to address Tiwa Savage directly. In the song, the lyrics suggest his desire to “sleep with the singer,” further fueling the backlash on social media.
Fans and commentators have expressed their disapproval, with many calling Portable out for crossing boundaries and disrespecting Tiwa Savage, who is a seasoned artist and one of Nigeria’s most respected female musicians.
While Portable has not responded to the criticism, the release of the track has certainly sparked conversations about professionalism and respect in the Nigerian music industry.
