Portable Loses 100,000 Instagram Followers After Controversial Protest Comments

Nigerian street pop sensation, Habeeb Olalomi, aka Portable, has faced severe backlash on social media losing 100,000 followers on Instagram after making inflammatory remarks about the ongoing protests in the country.

In a viral video, Portable claimed that there were no protests in his hometown of Sango, Ogun state, and that previous demonstrations had been ignored by the government, prompting him and his community to focus on their daily lives instead.

However, his comments sparked widespread outrage, with many fans condemning his stance as insensitive and tone-deaf. Within 12 hours of posting the video, Portable lost a staggering 100,000 followers on Instagram, as reported by a popular blog. Fans had warned that they would unfollow him if he continued to make such statements, and many followed through on their threats.

This is not the first time Portable has courted controversy. In a previous video, he compared himself to billionaire Aliko Dangote and described protests as activities for the poor. His comments have led to a significant backlash, with many fans pledging to unfollow him if he continues to make divisive statements.

Portable’s loss of followers is a significant blow to his online presence, and it remains to be seen how he will recover from this controversy.
