Portable dirty, smelly, used charms to hold me- Ex-lover Dami
Dami, wife of late Alafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi, on Thursday, ended her relationship with controversial singer, Portable, saying she regrets the two years she was entangled in sexual relationship with him after her husband’s demise.
In a live Instagram interview, she also denied allegations by Portable that she slept around with other men while they were lovers, adding that she was not responsible for her late husband’s death as the singer accused her.
Dami said she had already left the late Alaafin before he even fell ill and eventually died and expressing gratitude for leaving him, saying she realised she had been under his charms and endured his unclean habits.
She said, “No wonder I woke up one day and told myself I had to leave this boy. How could someone use charms on me? I didn’t even know I was in bondage all this time. I was used all this time—dirty, stinky, smelly armpit.”
During an Instagram live session, Portable accused Dami of inappropriate behaviour which led her to announce the breakup, also on Instagram, saying, “Alhamdulilahi, I’m done. This is too much for me.”
Portable accused Dami of promiscuity, casting spells on him, and being involved in the Alaafin’s death. He claimed she was ungrateful for his support, while Dami countered with allegations of physical abuse, neglect, and humiliation, highlighting that their relationship was never formalised.
In response to the breakup, Portable released a diss track titled ‘Bye-bye to Jaga Jaga,’ mocking Dami and claiming to leave the drama behind. The song gained tractible sharing videos of himself dancing to it to reinforce his narrative.
Dami retaliated with a skit on Instagram, portraying herself hiring a male prostitute who expressed fear of Portable, to which she reassured him that she had reported the singer to the police.

Alex Otti, the Abia State Governor, on Sunday paid a visit to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, at the Sokoto Correctional Centre.
The governor was accompanied by officials of the Sokoto State Government during the closed-door visit.
Nnamdi Kanu was recently moved to Sokoto after he was convicted on terrorism-related charges and handed a life sentence by a Federal High Court in Abuja.
Governor Otti had earlier promised to pursue every lawful and political avenue to ensure that Kanu gets justice. Sunday’s visit is seen as part of ongoing efforts by the Abia State Government regarding his case.
Details of the meeting were not made public as of the time of this report.
Armed terrorists have abducted a bride-to-be, her bridesmaid, and eight other residents from Chacho village in Wurno Local Government Area of Sokoto State
The Sokoto abduction occurred around 1:30 a.m., according to residents, when the attackers stormed the village. Most of the victims were women, with only one man also taken.
One resident sustained injuries and is receiving medical treatment. Villagers told reporters that the bride was preparing for her wedding scheduled for later that morning when the raid struck, plunging the community into shock and mourning.
A community member described the attack as “tragic,” noting the delay in security response. “Security operatives were alerted immediately, but they only arrived about an hour after the bandits had fled,” he said, expressing frustration.
