The footage, recorded during the festive period, showed Portable carrying his infant son while interacting playfully with a man dressed in a bamboo costume, a moment that quickly gained traction across social media platforms.
There was immediate attention, with users expressing mixed opinions over the singer’s conduct and the manner in which the newborn was handled in the clip.
While some social media users described the video as humorous and consistent with Portable’s eccentric public personality, others criticised it, expressing concern about the baby’s comfort and safety.
Comments circulating online included both jokes and warnings, with some users describing the situation as excessive, while others questioned the appropriateness of the public display.
Portable, known for his controversial public behaviour and frequent online attention, has recently been more visible in family-centred content following the birth of his third child with his wife.
The singer’s wife had earlier announced the arrival of their son, identified as Temilorun, with a naming ceremony later held at his Odogwu bar in the presence of family, friends and supporters.
The Video comes amid a series of recent personal milestones for the artiste, including public celebrations and increased focus on his growing family life.
