Steering away from controversy, Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has been honored with the title “King of the Streets” by some Yoruba traditional rulers.
The recognition, bestowed by these leaders, adds a significant cultural feather to Portable’s cap, acknowledging his influence and connection with grassroots communities.
To verify his title, they gave him a crown and some beads at a ceremony, and the singer sat regal while he observed the honor.
A few internet users did not win the title. They suspected what prompted the title, and Portable took it seriously.
He rocked a cultural outfit with the rulers as they made a pronouncement on him before wearing him the crown which was crested with his title.
In the video shared by @agbalumozehnation, they also wore him some beads as they shared what they felt about the Zazuu Zehh singer. Some netizens claimed that Portable paid the traditional rulers for the crown.
Others noted that the traditional rulers might regret their actions because Portable might still drag them online. Aside from releasing songs, the Zeh Nation boss is known for fighting his wives, colleagues, and other people in his neighbourhood. However, he has settled with some of them.
