Portable loses 100,000 followers hours after controversial comments on protests

Controversial street pop singer, Habeeb Olalomi, popularly known as Portable has faced severe backlash, losing 100,000 followers on Instagram within hours of making controversial remarks about ongoing protest in the country.

In a video making the rounds online, Portable claimed there were no protests in Sango, Ogun state where he lives.

He explained that previous demonstrations had been ignored by the government, prompting him and those in his area to focus on their daily hustle instead.

His comments, however, did not sit well with many fans. Within 12 hours of posting the video, Portable lost 100,000 Instagram followers, as reported by a popular blog.

Fans had warned they would unfollow him, and many followed through on their threats. Many more fans have pledged to unfollow the artist if he continues to make such statements.

Portable had also made a previous video comparing himself to billionaire Aliko Dangote and describing protests as activities for the poor.
