Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, widely known as Portable, has taken a swipe at actress Iyabo Ojo over her public support and praise for single mothers.

In a video circulating widely on social media, the singer lashed out at the actress, arguing that she lacks the moral standing to advise young people on marriage-related issues.

Portable further made disparaging remarks about single mothers, alleging that they often have children by multiple partners, a claim that has since sparked backlash online.

Questioning Iyabo Ojo’s influence on younger women, the singer said she should not be held up as a role model for those preparing for marriage, implying that her views could encourage what he described as irresponsible behaviour.

His comments have generated mixed reactions across social media platforms, with many users condemning his remarks as offensive, while others called for more responsible public discourse by celebrities.
