Controversial Nigerian street-pop sensation Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has once again set social media abuzz. This time, the Zazuu crooner has set his sights on veteran actor Baba Ijesha, who recently welcomed a newborn baby boy with his partner, celebrity fashion designer CEO Luminee.
In a candid video shared with his followers, Portable openly questioned the timeline of the pregnancy, pointing out the gap between Baba Ijesha’s release from correctional custody and the arrival of the infant.
Portable Raises Paternity Questions on Social Media
According to reports, Baba Ijesha regained his freedom months ago. Doing some quick math, Portable raised eyebrows over how the pregnancy reached full term so quickly after the actor’s release from prison, which he notes was approximately seven months ago.
Speaking in his signature unfiltered style, the singer urged the actor to clarify the timeline for curious fans. “The thing no clear,” Portable remarked, adding that ultimately, only a mother can truly identify the biological father of her child.
He further pondered if the couple had managed to maintain an intimate relationship or secure private visitation privileges prior to his official release, leaving social media users to debate the possibilities.
Mixed Reactions Trail Baba Ijesha’s Return to Fatherhood
The arrival of the baby boy has sparked intense debate across Nigerian online spaces. While some netizens agreed with Portable’s curiosity, others criticized the singer for interfering in private family matters and chasing clout.
The controversy hasn’t been limited to Portable. Popular actress Destiny Etiko also faced significant backlash from critics for publicly congratulating and celebrating Baba Ijesha’s newborn baby following his highly publicized prison release.
Baba Ijesha Speaks on His Legal Woes
This development comes shortly after Baba Ijesha shared his side of the story in a detailed interview. Appearing on the popular Talk to B show hosted by actress Abiola Adebayo on YouTube, the actor maintained his innocence regarding the heavy allegations that led to his conviction.
He claimed that his legal troubles were orchestrated, alleging that his problems began after he declined a personal introduction initiated by comedian Damilola Adekoya, widely known as Princess.
As the conversations continue to trend, Portable’s blunt remarks have undoubtedly added a fresh layer of drama to Baba Ijesha’s return to the spotlight.
