Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has publicly called out his father, accusing him of exploitation and constant interference in his personal life.

The singer alleged that his father took his shoes and clothes, laid claim to his properties, and has been causing tension by involving himself in his relationships. According to Portable, his father has access to the phone numbers of all his baby mamas and frequently contacts them to demand money—an action he described as upsetting and unfair.

Portable said the situation has caused emotional distress, as he feels used rather than supported. He compared his experience to the family controversy surrounding the late singer Mohbad, suggesting a troubling pattern of parental control and exploitation.

Expressing his frustration in a video, Portable said his father never took responsibility for his upbringing, claiming he was neither sent to school nor supported in learning a trade. Despite this, he believes his father continues to benefit from his success while disrupting his peace.

In his words:

“My daddy dey like Mohbad’s dad. He has taken all my shoes and clothes and he’s just after my properties. He has all my baby mama phone numbers and he bills them for money all the time.

You dey with me, my life still dey scatter. When you no dey with me, my life go on. You no take care of me, you no send me school, you no even pay make I learn tailor. I swear to God, my papa still dey around me, my life still dey scatter—why?”

The singer’s outburst has since sparked mixed reactions online, with fans debating family boundaries, accountability, and the pressures of fame.
