Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has revealed the reason behind his Instagram name, ‘Elizabeth Joyce.’
In a viral video circulating on social media, Portable is seen conversing with content creator Egungun of Lagos during a car ride.
When asked about the unusual name on his profile, the singer admitted that he initially created the account while trying to learn internet fraud, commonly known as “Yahoo Yahoo.”
“Make I no lie for you, e get one Facebook and Instagram account wey I create that time I wan learn Yahoo (internet fraud),” Portable confessed.
“Yahoo no gree, na hin I just open that account down. As I con hear say dem dey look for me say I don blow, na hin I come go edit am, delete oyinbo commot. Na working account.”
Portable shot to fame in December 2021 with his breakout single Zazoo Zeh, featuring Olamide and Poco Lee. Since then, he has remained in the spotlight for both his music and frequent controversies.
Earlier this year, he clashed with Ogun State officials, leading to his arrest and arraignment on a five-count charge, including assault. Authorities accused him of leading a violent attack against officials attempting to seal his bar over permit violations.
He was declared wanted on February 18 but turned himself in the following day. Portable was later granted ₦2 million bail, with his case adjourned until March 5.
