Controversial Nigerian artist Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has stirred up significant online conversations following his recent encounter with renowned Fuji musician Wasiu Alabi Pasuma. The meeting took place at the Iyana Ilogbo Day event on Thursday, January 23, 2025. Videos of the encounter, which have since gone viral, captured Portable expressing deep admiration for Pasuma.
Upon noticing Pasuma in a white Hilux vehicle, Portable immediately knelt on the ground, a gesture that attracted a wide range of reactions from social media users. Pasuma stepped out of his vehicle to greet Portable, extending his hand for a handshake. The visibly thrilled Portable accepted the handshake with a bow, showing respect for the Fuji legend. He then introduced Pasuma to the gathering, referring to him as a father figure.
