Controversial Nigerian artist Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has stirred up a buzz on social media following an encounter with Fuji music icon Wasiu Alabi Pasuma.
The Zeh Nation leader was seen kneeling on the ground to greet Pasuma at the Iyana Ilogbo day event in Lagos on January 23rd, 2025.
In the video that has since gone viral, Portable can be seen bowing in respect when he spots Pasuma in his white Hilux vehicle, demonstrating profound admiration for the Fuji musician. Pasuma, who had stopped his vehicle, exited to greet Portable, extending his hand for a handshake. The Afrobeat artist accepted the handshake, praising Pasuma and introducing him as a father figure to other attendees.
The video sparked a range of reactions across social media platforms. Some users commended Portable’s show of respect toward Pasuma, applauding the camaraderie between the two musicians. On the other hand, some expressed skepticism, questioning whether Portable would continue speaking ill of Pasuma after this apparent display of reverence.
Several comments were shared in response to the video:
