Nigerian street-pop star Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, better known as Portable, has once again set social media abuzz following his 31st birthday celebration on March 12, 2025.
The Zeh Nation boss marked the milestone with a low-key gathering, but one unexpected moment stole the show. A viral video making the rounds online captured Portable’s priceless reaction to a surprise birthday gesture from a loved one.
In the clip, the singer sat under a canopy, appearing lost in thought, when a group approached him playing the birthday song on trumpets while carrying a cake. Clad in a thick yellow hooded jumper, Portable initially looked confused but soon broke into a warm smile as he realized the special effort made for him.
The heartfelt moment has since sparked a flurry of reactions across social media, with fans gushing over his genuine expression and celebrating his special day.

In other news, Portable has once again tapped into a trending social media controversy to create a new song.
The Zazu crooner’s latest track is inspired by the ongoing ‘Truth or Dare’ scandal that has been making waves online.
The controversy began when popular skit maker Ijoba Lande accused his wife, Darasimi, of infidelity with Nollywood actor Baba Tee.
The allegation has since sparked intense discussions across social media, drawing reactions from both fans and celebrities—including Portable himself.
In response to the scandal, Portable took to social media to issue a strong warning, particularly to Baba Tee and any man who might consider making advances towards his baby mama, actress Ashabi Simple. Condemning infidelity, the singer went as far as placing curses on anyone who dared cross that boundary.
Shortly after, Portable shared a video of himself vibing to his new song, which is sung in Yoruba and appears to take subtle jabs at Ijoba Lande.
