Nigerian street singer Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Portable, recently took to his Instagram story to address a rather unusual and spiritual encounter with an upcoming artist who allegedly sought to harm him. In a video shared on the platform, Portable revealed the red clothes and charms the artist had brought in an attempt to attack him spiritually.
The controversial singer explained that the said artist had approached him with a request to be signed into his record label, but Portable declined the offer. Subsequently, the artist allegedly resorted to mystical means, renting a room near Portable’s studio and surrounding himself with red materials for spiritual purposes.
In the video, Portable displayed the charms and materials, emphasizing that he was well-prepared for such an attack. He credited his Maker for protecting him from his enemies, expressing gratitude that the mission to harm him had failed. The street singer asserted his resilience, stating that he remains vigilant and trusting in the divine shield that guards him from adversities.
Portable’s revelation sheds light on the often complex dynamics within the Nigerian music industry and the lengths to which some individuals may go in pursuit of success. The incident also underscores the spiritual beliefs deeply rooted in the country’s culture, where charms and rituals are sometimes employed in various aspects of life.
As the story unfolds, it sparks conversations about the challenges faced by artists, both established and upcoming, and the diverse strategies employed within the competitive music scene. Portable’s acknowledgment of divine protection adds a spiritual dimension to the narrative, reflecting the cultural and religious fabric that influences the lives of many in Nigeria.
This isn’t the first time Portable has had issues with an upcoming artiste.
Since leaving his label, Portable and Young Duu have been at war with both parties laying strong allegations against each other. Portable had branded Young Duu as “bad luck,” blaming him for the misfortunes that had befallen the record label. He also further accused Young Duu of being ungrateful, particularly because Portable had generously purchased a car for him.
Portable also claimed that Young Duu harbored jealousy whenever good things happened to other members of the record label.
