Controversial Nigerian street-hop artist, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has once again made headlines—this time, not for a clash, but for a public apology. The singer has shaved his signature dreadlocks as a symbolic act of remorse while tendering a heartfelt apology to Fuji icon Saheed Osupa.
The Apology That Got Everyone Talking
In a video circulating online, Portable was seen addressing the camera with a humble tone, apologizing to Oba Orin (King of Music), Saheed Osupa. The singer admitted his mistake and begged the Fuji legend to forgive him, stating that he had acted out of ignorance and youthful exuberance.
He added that he now understands the value of respect, especially when dealing with respected figures in the entertainment industry.
Why Did Portable Apologize?
Portable’s apology comes after he reportedly disrespected Saheed Osupa in one of his earlier online rants. His comments had sparked backlash from fans of the Fuji star and the general public, who called him out for being disrespectful and insensitive.
As criticism mounted, it seems the singer chose to make amends before the issue spiraled further out of control.
Shaving His Hair: A Sign of Humility
Perhaps the most surprising part of his apology was the decision to shave off his hair, which has always been part of his identity and public image. According to Portable, the act symbolizes a fresh start and total repentance.
In many African traditions, shaving one’s hair can signify humility, surrender, or a willingness to change. Portable used this gesture to show how deeply sorry he is and how serious he is about making peace.
Fans React to Portable’s Apology
Reactions to Portable’s apology have been mixed. While some applauded his courage to admit fault, others believe it may just be another attention-grabbing stunt. Regardless, many praised the gesture of shaving his hair, seeing it as a rare show of maturity from the often-controversial artist.
Saheed Osupa Yet to Respond
As of now, Fuji veteran Saheed Osupa has not made a public statement regarding Portable’s apology. Fans are hoping he will accept the olive branch and put an end to the conflict, especially since the younger artist has shown sincere regret.
Portable’s public apology and symbolic haircut show a different side of the usually wild and unfiltered singer. Whether or not Saheed Osupa responds, this move might just be a turning point in Portable’s journey toward respect and responsibility in the entertainment industry.
