Biography
Biography
Habeeb Okikiola Badmus (born 12 March 1994), popularly known as Portable, is a Nigerian singer, songwriter and rapper. He is known for controversies and online buzz.
Early life and career
Portable was born on 12 March 1994 in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. He gained mainstream attention after the single "ZaZoo Zehh", where he featured Olamide and Poco Lee. He publicly accused Kogbagidi a business partner on social media of allegedly scamming him in a deal involving artist management.
Controversy
Portable was arrested by the Ogun State Police Command after he failed to comply with a 72-hour ultimatum to surrender himself in connection with an alleged assault, as per a police invitation. In the early hours of Monday, 3 April 2023, Portable was charged in the Ifo high court in Ogun state.
On 18 February, 2025 Portable was declared wanted by the Ogun State Police Command. He surrendered himself, to the Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Yaba in Lagos.
On 1 May 2026, Portable was defeated by Carter Efe in a celebrity boxing match held at the Balmoral Hall, Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos.
Another history was made on 1 August 2026, Portable was defeated by Charles Okocha in a celebrity boxing match held at the Balmoral Hall, Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos.
In August 2026, Portable participated in a celebrity boxing rematch against Nollywood actor Charles Okocha, tagged "Unfinished Business," held during the "Chaos in the Ring" event at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos. The bout ended in controversy when Portable was disqualified after abandoning standard fighting techniques, engaging in an unstructured scuffle, and walking out of the ring before an official ruling could be concluded. Following the fight, Portable accused Okocha of biting him on the back and choking him during the contest, a claim Okocha publicly refuted during an appearance on TVC Entertainment, pointing out that he was wearing a protective mouthguard throughout the match. Shortly after the event, Portable released a diss track addressing the fight's chaotic officiating and targeting both the referee and Okocha.
Family
Portable has 5 children from different women, including a son with Nollywood actress Akinyanju Omobolarinde.
Award and nominations
Skepta released the single "Tony Montana" featuring Portable in 2024.
