Portable Blames Ex-Lover for Grammy Award Misfortunes.
Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has recently made headlines by accusing his ex-lover, Queen Dami, of hindering his chances of winning a Grammy Award. This claim arises just after the couple’s public fallout, characterized by a heated dispute on social media.
In an interview with media personality Daddy Freeze, Portable suggested a spiritual dimension to their breakup, revealing that he sought divine intervention through ‘ifa’—a spiritual practice aimed at resolving misfortunes. He asserts that shortly after this prayer, Queen Dami departed from his life, implying a connection between her departure and his stagnant career prospects.
Stating, “She is one of the reasons I don’t have a Grammy award, considering how much effort I put into my music,” Portable expressed frustration regarding her perceived infidelity during their relationship. He attributed his lack of success in the music industry, particularly the coveted Grammy accolade, to the alleged disloyalty of his partner, asserting that faithful women typically bring him good fortune, while unfaithfulness leads to setbacks.
As this saga continues to unfold, it raises questions about the intersections of personal relationships and career aspirations, particularly in the high-stakes arena of the music industry. Portable’s claims not only highlight his tumultuous romantic life but also reflect the larger narratives surrounding ambition and spiritual beliefs in contemporary Nigerian culture.
The Nigerian film industry is in mourning following the death of Kayode Peters, a renowned filmmaker and producer. The news was announced by his family on his official Instagram page, stating that he passed away peacefully on the morning of Saturday, June 28, 2025, in Toronto, Canada, after a long illness.
Peters, fondly known as KP, was celebrated for his contributions as a filmmaker, actor, and producer. He was known for his role as Koko in the popular sitcoms “Twilight Zone” and “Flatmates” in the early 2000s. His work also extended to stage plays and sitcoms like “Extended Family” and “Being Farouk,” significantly impacting Nigeria’s contemporary theatre and television landscape.
He is survived by his wife, Alexander, and their children. Funeral arrangements are underway, and further details will be shared by the family in due course. The industry and fans alike will deeply miss his warmth, generosity, and contributions to Nollywood.
Popular Nigerian skit maker, Carter Efe, has reportedly lost access to his Instagram and TikTok accounts. This development follows recent criticism leveled against Afrobeat artist Wizkid during a TikTok live stream.
Efe’s comments, in which he accused Wizkid of pride, triggered a backlash from Wizkid’s fanbase, known as Wizkid FC. Subsequently, Efe claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that his Instagram account, boasting 1.8 million followers, was taken down by Wizkid FC. He later released an apology video stating that his TikTok account had also been blocked.
Efe has appealed to Wizkid and Wizkid FC for forgiveness and the restoration of his accounts.
Gabriel Oche Amanyi, known as Terry G, has asserted his significant contribution to the Nigerian music landscape. The “Akpoko Master,” pioneer of the “Street-hop” movement in the 2010s, stated that his influence is undeniable when discussing cultural impact within the Nigerian music industry.
His comments, made via social media on Wednesday, arrive amidst ongoing discussions regarding impact and legacies, spurred by the recent exchange between Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez.
In his statement on X, Terry G declared, “You can’t talk about cultural impact in Nigeria without talking about Terry G. I am the culture!” This pronouncement underscores his belief in his lasting effect on the evolution of Nigerian music.
