In other news…. Queen Dami, the former wife of the late Alaafin of Oyo, has filed a petition against her ex-boyfriend, singer Portable, accusing him of cyberbullying, blackmail, and related offences.
The development comes after Portable publicly claimed in a live video that he and Dami had reconciled, alleging that he had been spending nights with her and providing for her. He questioned why she was publicly denying their relationship.
In response, Dami took to her Instagram page to clarify the situation. She shared a screenshot of the petition against Portable, stressing that he is her ex and that any claims about them dating or engaging in sexual activity are false.
She further stated that she has moved on with her life and admonished Portable to stop spreading false and sexualized stories about her, describing such behaviour as disrespectful, harmful, and unacceptable.
“For the record …..
I want to address something clearly and publicly.
Portable is my ex, and we are not in a relationship. Any claims that we are dating or that I visit him for sex are completely false. I want nothing to do with him and have moved on with my life.
Spreading false and sexualized stories about me is disrespectful, harmful, and unacceptable. I ask that he stop immediately and that people stop entertaining or sharing these lies, as legal actions have been taken.
Thank you to everyone who continues to respect me and support my truth. Once again PORTABLE has been written out of my life for a long time!!!”.
