Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has dragged his father, calling him “Baba Oko Bournvita”, accused him of bad parenting, extortion, and taking advantage of his success.
In the Instagram video posted on January 6, 2026, Portable alleged that his father had been taking his belongings, attempting to control his properties, and reaching out to his baby mamas to demand money without his consent. He said his father failed him while growing up and has continued to frustrate him despite his career success.
He said, “Even my dad is only concerned with getting money from me. There is no time I would be in the police station that you will ever come to my aid as your son.
“But you can collect the phone numbers of your son’s baby mamas and collect money from them. You will be sniffing around my family. You are with me, yet my life is scattered. When you are not with me, my life goes on.”
Portable said he built his career and wealth on his own and accused his father of cheating him while handling his building projects, including inflating construction costs.
He added, “My life is good without you. I am a hero. You did not take care of me. You did not send me to school. You are just like baba Mohbad; you are always wearing my shoes and clothes. You can never inherit me. I will not allow you to do to me what they did to Mohbad. My father is ready to take my properties, including my cars and my clothes.
“When I wanted to build a house, I told him to handle it. He was always cheating me. A block of N300,000, he will call it N900,000. You stand on my toes because of my properties. When my mother died, my father said he was not concerned. My father was cheating me on the purchase of bricks. You were in Abuja doing your thing.
“My father sent me away from Abuja, and I came to learn tailoring in Lagos.”
Portable ended the video by telling his father to stay away from his life, saying he would no longer tolerate what he described as exploitation and interference
