Controversial street-pop artist Portable has said he escaped unhurt after his car suffered brake failure in Ogun State on Thursday night, just a day before his newborn son’s naming ceremony.
The singer explained that he drove into a ditch to avoid colliding with another vehicle after realising his brakes had failed.
He shared details of the incident in a video posted to his Instagram story, noting that he came out of the crash without injury and thanking God for his safety.
Portable added that he had already bought two cows for the ceremony and expressed relief that the accident did not occur while a trailer was passing on the road.
‘Nothing do me oo, I came out unhurt. I suddenly realised that the car had failed brake. My people have arrived here (at the scene of the incident) I thank God they are not here to carry my corpse.
‘I’ve already bought two cows for my son’s naming ceremony. Thank God that the accident didn’t happen when trailer was passing on the road’.
The naming ceremony is for his son with wife Bewaji, who gave birth during Portable’s boxing match with Carter Efe on 1 May, 2026.
The singer had earlier distributed free Ankara aso ebi fabric to mark the occasion.
