“Any Woman Not in Her Husband’s House Isn’t a Queen” — Portable Slams Iyabo Ojo
Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has once again stirred public debate after making a bold statement targeting Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo.
The outspoken street-hop artiste sparked outrage on social media after declaring that “any woman not in her husband’s house isn’t a queen,” a comment many believe was directed at Iyabo Ojo following her recent remarks on women, independence, and relationships.
Portable, known for his unfiltered opinions, made the statement during a live session that quickly went viral. While he did not initially mention Iyabo Ojo by name, fans and online commentators quickly connected the dots, especially after he followed up with remarks criticising what he described as “modern feminism” and women who, according to him, “celebrate independence over family.”
The comments triggered mixed reactions across social media platforms. While some supporters of Portable agreed with his traditional stance on marriage and family values, a large number of Nigerians slammed the singer, accusing him of promoting misogyny and attacking women unfairly.
Iyabo Ojo, a vocal advocate for women’s rights and self-worth, has often spoken publicly about empowerment, especially for women navigating life outside conventional marriage structures. Although she has not officially responded to Portable’s remarks at the time of this report, her supporters have rallied behind her, describing the singer’s comments as insensitive and unnecessary.
This latest episode adds to Portable’s growing list of headline-grabbing controversies, reinforcing his reputation as one of Nigeria’s most unpredictable music stars. Whether the singer will clarify or double down on his stance remains to be seen, but the conversation it has sparked continues to trend online.
