Controversial street pop singer Habeeb Olalomi, popularly known as Portable, has faced widespread backlash and a sharp decline in his Instagram following after making contentious remarks about the ongoing protests in Nigeria. In a viral video, Portable claimed that there were no protests in his hometown of Sango, Ogun State, and criticised the protests, suggesting that those participating were “bad people” deserving of the same fate they are protesting against. Within 12 hours of posting the video, Portable lost 100,000 Instagram followers, with his count falling from 2.9 million to 2.8 million. Many fans warned that they would unfollow him if he continued making such statements, and a significant number followed through on their threats.
