Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has issued a stern warning to celebrities, threatening dire consequences for anyone who dares to sleep with his wife, actress Ashabi Simple. The warning comes in the wake of actor Babatunde Bernard Tayo, aka Baba Tee, confessing to having an affair with his colleague Ijoba Lande’s wife, Darasimi.
Here’s the full story behind Portable’s fiery reaction and what it means for the entertainment industry.
Baba Tee’s Confession Sparks Outrage
Baba Tee recently made headlines after admitting to sleeping with Darasimi, the wife of fellow actor Ijoba Lande. The confession, which initially started as a denial, shocked many in the industry and drew widespread criticism.
Portable, known for his outspoken nature, didn’t hold back in his response. He sent a series of voice notes to Baba Tee, expressing his disappointment and condemning the actor’s actions.
Portable’s Fiery Warning
In the voice notes, which he also shared on his Instagram story, Portable made it clear that he would not tolerate any similar behavior involving his wife, Ashabi Simple.
“Baba Tee, with the way I like you so much, you shouldn’t be sleeping with other people’s wives,” Portable said. “You gave Lande’s wife doggy, is that how you people behave in the movie industry? I swear to God, if anybody moves close to my own wife, the person would die o. My wife that is an actress, if I see anybody doing rubbish with her, the person will die.”
Portable emphasized his respect for Baba Tee but expressed shock at the actor’s actions. “I like and respect you o. Normally, the person who sleeps with another man’s wife is not at fault, but why did you sleep with another man’s wife? Don’t you know it’s a dirty thing that causes setback?”
A Plea for Change
Portable urged Baba Tee to stop such behavior, warning that it could lead to setbacks in his life and career. “A man who sleeps with another man’s wife despite knowing her husband, it’s a setback for him. God won’t let you see setback, bro,” he said.
He also appealed to Baba Tee to maintain their friendship, saying, “Please o, I’m begging you in God’s name. You know you come to visit me a lot, and we both visit each other. It won’t be good if we become enemies.”
The Bigger Picture: A Warning to All
Portable’s message wasn’t just directed at Baba Tee—it was a warning to everyone in the entertainment industry. He made it clear that he would not tolerate any disrespect toward his marriage.
“Now that Truth or Dare is what you’re using to sleep with other people’s wives, please stop it. It’s not good, egbon,” he said. “It’s because I love you that I’m in your DM telling you. Baba Tee, no matter what it is, the man who sleeps with another’s wife is blameless. It’s the husband that should warn his wife.”
What This Means for the Industry
Portable’s outburst highlights the ongoing issues of infidelity and moral controversies in the Nigerian entertainment industry. His warning serves as a reminder of the importance of respect and boundaries, especially in a close-knit community like Nollywood.
