Queen Dami, former wife of the late Alaafin of Oyo and current girlfriend of controversial singer Portable, has laid down striking conditions for their relationship following their recent reconciliation. The bold declaration, made in a video that quickly went viral, shows Queen Dami explicitly stating that her attachment to the singer is primarily financial, coupled with a stern warning about potential future marriages.
This latest development comes after a period of public discord between the couple, who appear to have mended their relationship. Portable shared an intimate moment with Queen Dami on his Instagram page, though the video was later removed. The reconciliation video captured attention not just for its display of affection, but more notably for Queen Dami’s forthright statement about her motivations and boundaries in the relationship.
The singer’s response to this situation was characteristically philosophical, as he shared his views on relationship dynamics through a social media post. Portable expressed his belief that while there can be “one man for all women,” there can also be “all women for one man.” He emphasized the importance of financial stability before pursuing romantic relationships, suggesting a pragmatic approach to love and relationships.
This reconciliation follows a recent public dispute where Portable had accused Queen Dami of driving away female patrons from his bar. During that conflict, he pointedly reminded her that she wasn’t his first partner and wouldn’t be his last, while also highlighting his role in supporting her son from her previous marriage to the late Alaafin.
Queen Dami’s journey to this current relationship is itself a story of significant transitions. Her previous marriage to the late Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyeye, ended in controversy after she allegedly violated palace protocols, leading to her departure from the royal household. She later attributed these actions to frustration and misguided advice from friends. Tragically, this breach was never resolved before the monarch’s passing last year.
The current relationship between Portable and Queen Dami has been marked by both public displays of affection and equally public disputes. Just weeks before their recent fallout, Portable had praised Queen Dami’s loyalty, addressing critics who questioned their relationship due to her not yet bearing him a child. The singer, who already has six children, had expressed hope for having a child with Queen Dami.
This latest episode adds another layer to Portable’s complex public persona and relationship history. The singer, known for his controversial statements and unconventional approach to both his music career and personal life, seems unfazed by Queen Dami’s conditions. Her straightforward declaration about the financial basis of their relationship and her stance on future marriages presents a remarkably candid view of their arrangement.
The public reaction to this development reflects broader conversations about modern relationships, particularly those involving public figures. Queen Dami’s explicit terms have sparked discussions about transparency in relationships, the role of financial considerations in romantic partnerships, and the evolution of traditional relationship dynamics in contemporary Nigerian society.
As this story continues to unfold, it highlights the increasingly public nature of personal relationships in the age of social media, where private agreements and confrontations often become subjects of public discourse and debate. The frank nature of Queen Dami’s statements and Portable’s philosophical response offer a unique glimpse into the complex dynamics of relationships in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
