Popular Fuji musician Alao Malaika celebrated his 50th birthday yesterday in Lagos, and people from all walks of life, including royalty and top stars, were present. Before playing on stage, Portable, a guest musician at the event, paid homage to each celebrity and dignitary.
King Wasiu Ayinde, whom Portable met at the occasion, commended him for his contribution in the entertainment sector. He also connected with Adebimpe Akintunde, alias Wasilat Coded, and had his first encounter with Foluke Daramola, who was eager to get to know him and wanted his phone number so they could collaborate on her upcoming project.
Almost everyone in the room was entertained by Portable’s presence as he posed for adorable pictures and had fascinating talks with Madam Saje, Regina Chukwu, Muka Ray, Kemmy Korede, and many more. Even after Alhaji Baraka, a well-known Yoruba actor, requested him for money, Portable agreed to give him 5% of the show’s earnings.
It was nice to be outside last night with the stars to commemorate my dad, Alao Malaika, Portable said after the celebration. He also thanked everyone for their support. More life, dad. His films from the occasion sparked online debate as users of social media and celebrities posted their various opinions.
One supporter said, “No one is seeing how he’s greeting everyone right now, but later they will say he doesn’t have respect.”
