Portable’s tough guy era takes a sudden pause. A viral video making rounds online has captured Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, in a very unexpected moment, handcuffed, emotional, and crying like a baby inside a police station.
The 18-second clip shows the usually loud and fearless street-pop star looking visibly shaken, pleading and asking for forgiveness, a sharp contrast from his usual aggressive online persona.
Why Was Portable Arrested?
Portable’s arrest reportedly followed an assault complaint filed by his baby mama, Ashabi. The incident allegedly occurred on January 1, 2026, at Portable’s bar in Ogun State, after a heated dispute between both parties.
By January 11, 2026, the situation escalated into a full-blown police case, landing the singer in handcuffs and straight into viral embarrassment.
Online Reactions
As expected, social media wasted no time reacting. Many users mocked the sudden switch from street confidence to public tears, joking that reality finally caught up with him. Others weren’t surprised at all, pointing out that Portable seems more familiar with police cells than chart-topping hits.
Still, some fans believe the drama won’t last long, insisting that celebrity privilege will eventually see him walk free, just like previous encounters with law enforcement.
