Manipulator!” – Portable Tears Into VeryDarkMan Over Viral Comments About The Dead

Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Portable, has called out social media commentator Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, over his persistent involvement in controversies following the death of fellow artist Mohbad.

Mohbad died in September 2023 under mysterious and contentious circumstances, sparking ongoing debates across the country.

In a recent Instagram video, Portable accused VeryDarkMan of initially gaining public sympathy by advocating for justice for Mohbad, only to later shift his stance in a contradictory manner.

The ‘Zazu’ hitmaker also criticized VeryDarkMan for repeatedly attacking Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo and for allegedly disrespecting Mohbad’s memory.

Portable branded him a manipulator and warned Nigerians not to be misled by his antics.

He said:

“VeryDarkMan came out pretending to fight for justice for Mohbad, but now he’s targeting Iyabo Ojo. What did she even do wrong?

You’re manipulating Nigerians. You once claimed Mohbad was killed by certain people — now you’re changing the narrative. Why are you dragging the dead? Let Mohbad rest in peace.

You’re not the one to decide who’s good or bad in this country. We know those who bullied Mohbad. Stop misleading the people.”
