Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, is celebrating the arrival of his second child with Nollywood actress Ashabi Simple. The couple, who have been in the spotlight due to Portable’s controversial lifestyle, welcomed a baby girl, marking their second child together.
Portable took to social media to share the joyous news with his fans, expressing deep gratitude and pride in expanding his family.
The singer’s relationship with Ashabi Simple, who is also his third baby mama, has been a recurring subject in media circles. The couple’s latest addition comes as Portable continues to balance his growing family life with an ever-busy music career. While many of his fans congratulated him on social media, the artist’s larger-than-life persona has once again taken center stage for other reasons.
In a recent podcast with media personality Quincy Jonze, Portable made headlines with a controversial statement about Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. Reflecting on Fela’s legacy, Portable claimed that the pioneer of Afrobeat died prematurely because he did not “mind his business.” The comment has sparked reactions from fans and critics alike, with some applauding Portable for speaking his mind, while others have criticized the remarks as insensitive.
Despite his often polarizing personality, Portable continues to maintain a significant presence in the entertainment industry. Beyond his music, he is known for stirring conversations—whether through his outspoken nature, family updates, or social media antics. His latest podcast appearance is no exception, as it touches on both his admiration for Fela and his personal views on navigating fame.
The singer’s influence, coupled with his ever-expanding family, has kept him in the spotlight, ensuring that fans and critics alike are always watching his next move.
