Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has once again made headlines after a video showing him crying at a police station surfaced online, sparking a wave of reactions across social media.
In the clip, the “Zazoo Zeh” hitmaker is seen visibly emotional, tears streaming down his face as he sits in police custody, prompting some viewers to comment on the unusual vulnerability of the street-savvy singer.
Portable’s distressing words, “Please help me. It’s only God I have, my mother is dead.” added to the public’s fascination and concern.
Reports suggest that Portable’s arrest followed a complaint from his baby mama, actress Ashabi Simple, relating to an alleged assault.
The dispute is said to stem from a previous altercation between the pair at the singer’s bar in Ogun State on Thursday, January 1, 2026.
During that confrontation, a video surfaced showing Ashabi holding onto Portable’s clothing while insisting she should be recognized as his wife, rather than merely his baby mama. She expressed frustration over the label, telling him she was tired of being called just that.
Before his arrest, sources indicate that Portable had initially evaded authorities after the alleged assault. However, following the restaurant incident, the singer was taken into police custody and handcuffed, leading to the viral video capturing his emotional breakdown.
Portable, known for his street persona and bold public antics, has rarely shown such vulnerability, making the clip a topic of discussion across social media platforms.
As the video continues to trend, fans and critics alike are debating the circumstances surrounding his arrest and the singer’s heartfelt plea.
This latest incident adds another chapter to Portable’s controversial public life, highlighting the ongoing tension between his personal disputes and his high-profile music career.
