Embattled actor Ijoba Lande has called out controversial singer Portable for using his recent marital crisis as inspiration for a song. Lande, who has been embroiled in a public feud with his wife over allegations of infidelity, expressed his dismay over Portable’s decision to turn his personal issues into a track. The drama began when Lande accused his wife of having affairs with over 21 actors, sparking a media frenzy. His wife later admitted to her infidelity, publicly asking for forgiveness.
The controversy took another turn when Portable, who had been following the saga, decided to release a song inspired by Lande’s life. The singer, known for his unconventional style and bold public statements, used Lande’s troubled marriage as material for a didactic song. This move quickly drew attention, with many questioning whether it was appropriate for Portable to turn such a personal issue into a public spectacle.
Lande did not hold back in responding to Portable’s actions. In a fiery statement, he slammed the singer for capitalizing on his personal struggles. “Portable, I see all the nonsense you are doing. You are using my life story to sing. You will pay for it,” Lande said, addressing the singer in a stern tone. He also reminded Portable of his own past public meltdown, when the singer was devastated after one of his wives was reportedly cheated on.
Lande’s comments were pointed, referencing Portable’s earlier outcry on social media following the scandal involving his own wife. “When they slept with one of your wives the other time, you were crying all over the internet,” Lande continued, clearly frustrated by what he saw as a double standard. His words seemed to suggest that Portable had no right to exploit another person’s marital difficulties, given his own emotional reaction to similar circumstances.
The fallout from this exchange has been significant, with fans and followers of both Lande and Portable weighing in on the matter. Some have criticized Portable for using Lande’s personal crisis to promote his music, while others have defended the singer, arguing that it is a common practice for artists to draw inspiration from real-life events, no matter how controversial.
