Controversial artist Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Portable, has offered a candid glimpse into his affection for his wives and his journey to stardom. In a recent interview with a content creator during the week of March 10, 2025, the Zazu Zeh singer explained why he cherishes his spouses, shedding light on his unconventional views on relationships and his past struggles.
Portable expressed unwavering loyalty to his first and second wives, emphasizing that his devotion stems from their forgiveness and resilience. “I don’t change wives; my tomorrow is at home,” he declared, distinguishing between his committed partners and fleeting romantic encounters. He admitted to using other women to support his household, asserting that the entertainment industry thrives on female influence. “If you see a man who is making it, it’s because he has many female children around him,” he said, framing women as both muses and pillars of his success. While he loves his current wives, he noted the third wife slot remains open, challenging contenders to match the loyalty of his existing partners.
The artist, who styles himself a king, rejected monogamy outright. “You cannot tell me to have one wife,” he insisted, praising his wives’ ability to overlook his infidelity—a quality he rewards with care. His remarks reveal a complex dynamic, blending admiration with a pragmatic approach to relationships shaped by his rise in the music world.
Portable also reflected on his pre-fame days, revealing a brush with internet fraud. He once attempted to master the craft using social media accounts under a pseudonym, Elizabeth Joyce, but abandoned the scheme when he sensed trouble brewing. “I heard they were looking for me because I was gaining fame,” he recounted, explaining how he distanced himself from that life as his music career took off. The shift wasn’t without consequences—his growing notoriety later led to a fee hike for performances, a move he linked to government scrutiny.
The singer’s past tangles with authority resurfaced earlier this year when he clashed with officials in Ogun State. After evading capture, he surrendered on February 19 and faced charges, including assault. Released on a N2 million bail, his legal woes linger, with a court date set for later this month. Through it all, Portable remains unapologetic, weaving his tumultuous journey into a narrative of survival, love, and ambition.
