Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has ignited a fresh social media firestorm by launching a blistering verbal attack on veteran actress Iyabo Ojo following her recent remarks celebrating single mothers.
The Trigger
The drama started when Iyabo Ojo, affectionately known as the Queen Mother, publicly asserted that single mothers are no longer stigmatized and are thriving despite societal judgment. While many praised her stance as empowering, the “Zazu” crooner took strong exception to the message.
Portable’s Rant
In a viral video that has circulated widely, the singer aggressively criticized the actress, arguing that her comments set a dangerous precedent for younger women. He questioned the logic of normalizing having children for multiple partners.
He asked:
“Which advice do you even want to give to the younger ones getting married? That they should be giving birth for different men? One child for one man, three children for three different men?”
“Married Women Are Doing Better”
Portable went on to claim that contrary to the actress’s views, married women fare better than single mothers. He insisted that men often exploit single mothers financially and warned that promoting such family structures sends the wrong signal to children who are looking forward to marriage.
Public Outrage
The singer’s blunt and confrontational remarks have sparked a heated debate online. While a segment of the internet agreed with his concerns about the impact on the younger generation, a vast number of users condemned his comments, labeling them as disrespectful and highly insensitive.
