Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has reportedly confronted people at his accommodation in London after they allegedly entered the apartment, filmed him while he was eating and contacted their family to announce his arrival.
Videos circulating online show the singer expressing anger over what he described as an invasion of his privacy shortly after arriving in the United Kingdom.
According to reports accompanying the footage, Portable had just landed in London ahead of a scheduled performance and wanted time to settle down before his appearance.
However, he reportedly became upset after people at the apartment allegedly entered while he was having a meal and began recording him.
In the videos, Portable can be heard stressing that he had only just arrived and wanted privacy. He reportedly questioned why people were filming him and informing others about his presence without his permission.
The confrontation subsequently became heated, with footage appearing to show the singer pushing back against those involved in the filming.
The incident has generated mixed reactions online. While some viewers criticized Portable’s response and questioned whether the confrontation could lead to legal trouble in the United Kingdom, others sympathized with him and argued that guests and hosts should respect one another’s personal boundaries.
The situation has also reignited conversations about privacy when public figures travel abroad. Although celebrities are accustomed to being photographed and filmed in public spaces, being recorded inside private accommodation can raise different questions about consent and personal boundaries.
Portable has frequently found himself at the centre of controversies during his international trips, making the latest incident another source of discussion among his supporters and critics.
Some social media users expressed concern about the singer’s conduct, particularly because the confrontation reportedly took place in the United Kingdom, where disputes can potentially attract police attention.
Others, however, focused on the circumstances that allegedly triggered the confrontation, arguing that being filmed inside a private apartment immediately after arriving from a long journey could understandably cause frustration.
The full circumstances surrounding the incident, including who had permission to enter or record inside the apartment, remain unclear from the footage currently circulating online.
There has also been no independent confirmation that Portable has been arrested or that any formal charges have been filed in connection with the incident.
For now, the videos continue to generate debate, with viewers divided between criticism of Portable’s reaction and support for his demand for privacy while staying abroad.
