Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable or Dr. Zeh, is a rising Nigerian musician and street celebrity who recently spoke with Jabless Original Intelligence Podcast for the first time. During the interview, the musician opened up about his personal life, which was really revealing.
He was reared in Abuja but was born in Sango Ota, Ogun State, according to Portable. He claimed to be a fervent follower of Islam. In terms of his education, he indicated that he went to school but did not finish because of “music.” Music, he believes, is tremendously profitable.
Portable’s music career began roughly ten years ago, according to him. He went on to say that he has released over 400 tracks over the years. He has, however, only recently returned to the limelight after a long absence. He described his rise to fame as “purely by grace,” with Olamide Baddo playing a key part.

Olamide did not receive any compensation for his appearance on Portable’s song, according to Portable. Olamide sponsored the song instead of being compensated. Olamide, he alleged, paid the song’s producers out of his own pocket and also financed the music video.
Personal Experiences
During the conversation, Portable talked about his personal life.
He disclosed that he is a father of two. He said his two children are boys and they were conceived by different women. He did not give any further details regarding his children and their mothers.
Portable said he has a lot of girlfriends owing to the fact that ladies always come to him to profess love all the time. He said it has been like that even before he became famous. However, he said there is a particular lady that he would love to marry. He said he loves the girl.
He said he has been doing music in the street before Zazoo became a smash hit. He said there is loyalty and love on the street but there is no money. He has been on that street for a long time before fame came into the picture.
Scuffle with Poco Lee and Kogbagidi
Portable also addressed the issue he had with Poco Lee and Kogbagidi. He said he was infuriated when he saw the artwork of his hit song ‘Zazoo Zeh’. Instead of ‘Portable ft Olamide ft Poco Lee’, he saw ‘Poco Lee x Portable x Olamide’ labeled on it. He said that was what triggered his outrage with Poco Lee.
He also said he was displeased with Kogbadi because he was restraining him too much in the name of packaging. He said he wasn’t allowed to do the things he wanted to do when he was under Kogbagidi. However, he said there is currently no bad blood between them.
