Queen Damilola, former wife of the late Alaafin of Oyo, has publicly distanced herself from the tumultuous drama surrounding her past relationship with controversial street-hop artist Portable, while making her intentions for 2025 crystal clear.
The royal figure took to Instagram to share a series of striking photographs, accompanied by a pointed message that seemingly addresses her recent highly publicized conflicts. “Goodbye 2024! I pray 2025 keeps liars, haters, cheaters, and disloyal people out of my life,” the queen wrote, in what many interpret as a direct reference to her stormy relationship with the “Zazu” crooner.
This latest development comes on the heels of a series of dramatic confrontations that have dominated Nigerian entertainment headlines. The relationship between Queen Dami and Portable deteriorated into a public spectacle when the artist launched a scathing social media campaign against her, making serious allegations that sent shockwaves through traditional and entertainment circles alike.
The controversy reached its peak when Portable made grave accusations against the former queen, including claims about her conduct during her marriage to the late Alaafin of Oyo. His allegations ranged from questioning her role in the monarch’s passing to making controversial statements about her personal life, particularly regarding alleged relationships with various Fuji musicians.
The situation escalated further when Portable reportedly stormed an apartment he had previously rented in Queen Dami’s name, only to find she had already vacated the premises. In response to these events, the queen broke her silence to defend her reputation, specifically addressing how a seemingly innocent social media advertisement had sparked the entire controversy.
Meanwhile, the drama has taken another interesting turn as another figure from Portable’s past, Honey Berry, one of his former romantic partners and mother to one of his children, has apparently moved on. She recently showcased her new relationship on Instagram, sharing intimate moments of her life with a new partner whose identity remains carefully guarded. Her posts, featuring gym sessions and public outings, were accompanied by heartfelt messages about finding true love, with a subtle but pointed reference to regretting her past association with an unnamed individual – widely believed to be Portable.
The ongoing saga has captured public attention not just for its entertainment value, but for its unique intersection of traditional royalty and contemporary pop culture. Queen Damilola’s status as a former wife of one of Nigeria’s most respected traditional rulers, combined with her involvement with a controversial figure in modern Nigerian music, has created a compelling narrative that continues to evolve.
As 2025 approaches, Queen Dami’s public statement suggests a desire to leave behind the controversy and drama that marked the previous year. Her message resonates with many who view the new year as an opportunity for fresh starts and clean breaks from toxic relationships and negative influences.
The situation highlights the changing dynamics of Nigerian society, where traditional institutions increasingly intersect with contemporary culture, often leading to unprecedented situations that challenge both traditional norms and modern sensibilities. It also underscores the role of social media in shaping public narratives and personal conflicts, transforming private matters into public spectacles.
For now, all eyes remain on how this situation will continue to unfold, as both Queen Dami and Portable navigate their separate paths forward in the public eye. The queen’s New Year message suggests a determination to move beyond the drama, while the ongoing developments in Portable’s personal life continue to generate public interest and discussion.
