Popular Nigerian singer Portable’s new signee, Oladimeji, has found himself embroiled in a paternity scandal after his mother, Mrs. Oladimeji, stormed Lagos to confront him about impregnating a young woman in Ibadan and subsequently abandoning her.
The incident came to light after Mrs. Oladimeji publicly accused Portable of failing to take responsibility for his son’s actions. In a video that went viral on social media, she expressed her disappointment and frustration with Portable, claiming that he had promised to take care of the pregnant woman but had instead chosen to neglect his responsibilities.
My son, Oladimeji, has impregnated a girl in Ibadan and Portable brought him into his record label,” Mrs. Oladimeji said in the video. “Portable promised to take care of the girl and the baby, but he has not fulfilled his promise. I am here to confront him and demand that he do the right thing.”
The video quickly sparked outrage and condemnation online, with many criticizing Portable for his alleged disregard for the young woman’s situation. Some accused him of exploiting his new signee and using him for personal gain, while others called for him to take responsibility for his actions.
In response to the allegations, Portable released a statement denying any involvement in the matter. He claimed that he was unaware of the situation and that his signee had not informed him about the pregnancy.
“I am shocked and saddened to hear about the allegations against Oladimeji,” Portable said in a statement. “I was not aware of the situation, and Oladimeji never told me about it. I am committed to supporting my artists, but I cannot be held responsible for their personal lives.”
However, Mrs. Oladimeji’s claims have raised serious questions about Portable’s character and his treatment of his signees. Some critics have argued that he is more interested in promoting his brand and making money than he is in supporting his artists.
Portable, whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola, has been a controversial figure in the Nigerian music industry. He has gained notoriety for his provocative lyrics, outrageous behavior, and frequent run-ins with the law.
In the past, Portable has faced criticism for his use of offensive language, his involvement in physical altercations, and his disregard for social norms. Despite these controversies, he has managed to build a large and dedicated fanbase.
The paternity scandal involving Oladimeji has added another layer of complexity to Portable’s already troubled reputation. It has raised questions about his ability to manage his artists and his commitment to ethical behavior.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Portable will respond to the allegations against him. If he is found to have been involved in the matter, it could have serious consequences for his career.
