Portable and Laide Bakare in a war of words on social media

Portable also made a vulgar remark, implying that Bakare was a loose woman, in a post where she thanked her fans for congratulating her on her new appointment in Osun State.

A heated exchange of words erupted on social media between a controversial musician, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, and a Nollywood actress, Laide Bakare, over an interview she gave where she allegedly called him a dirty boy.

Bakare, who was recently appointed by the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, as his Senior Special Adviser on entertainment, art, culture and tourism, had said in a podcast called Talk to B that Portable insulted her on social media because of a previous interview she had where she said she would cheat on her husband if he cheated on her. She said, “He commented on one of my posts, saying, “Pele iya olowo (sorry, rich woman). It turned out to be this werey olorin, Portable. The boy just started abusing me. The Internet just gives some people cheap opportunities. You can imagine one dirty boy from Sango talking anyhow…”

She also said that Portable threatened her that he did not want to see her with his wife, who is also an actress.

However, Portable denied her claims and said that Bakare was the one who contacted him on Instagram. He said, “Laide Bakare, you sent me a direct message and asked me to send my WhatsApp number. I will post everything. I told you to meet my manager, that what did you want to discuss with me? You are calling me a dirty boy, but the day we met at a party, you were the one who hugged me; you hugged a dirty boy. You were asking me to come to your birthday party? You say I come from Sango, where does your family come from? You fell for me, and I will post all the messages you sent to me.”

Portable also made a vulgar remark, implying that Bakare was a loose woman, in a post where she thanked her fans for congratulating her on her new appointment in Osun State.

Bakare fired back at him, writing, “Omo ofo.com, oni ku re (useless child, you will not die well). I will not spare you for coming to my page to rant nonsense. It is your grandmother that is mad.”
