Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, turned his son’s naming ceremony into a viral spectacle, showering his wife with stacks of naira notes while dubbing the newborn “Fijabi”—a Yoruba name meaning “born during a fight,” nodding to the child’s arrival just after Portable’s recent boxing clash with content creator Carter Efe.
In a widely shared video from the event, Portable, dressed in his signature flamboyant style, packs and sprays thick bundles of cash on his wife amid cheers from the crowd.
The ceremony blends family tradition with Portable’s streetwise persona, where he often fuses personal milestones with his history of public beefs and controversies for maximum buzz.
Social media reactions lit up with amusement over the cheeky name choice, tying the baby’s birth to Portable’s April boxing match loss against Carter Efe.
This emphasises Portable’s resilience, celebrating big despite the ring defeat.
Fijabi, typically a male Yoruba name evoking strength born from conflict, fits Portable’s dramatic life narrative.
