The mother of Queen Dami, one of the late Alaafin of Oyo’s wives, has broken her silence amid the ongoing social media controversy involving her daughter and street-pop artist Portable, popularly known as Portable Zazu.
Nigerians have responded differently to a live video that has gone viral of Queen Dami's mother discussing the quarrel.
The mother of Queen Dami, who was clearly upset, was shown on the video advising her daughter about hanging around with Portable. She disclosed that she had told Dami not to speak to Portable at all, even refusing his calls when he sought prayers from her. "I didn't know when she started talking to him behind my back," she said, expressing disappointment.
Portable was accused by the distraught mother of making false statements. She claims that Portable went online to accuse Queen Dami of infidelity after first assuring her that she was not promiscuous. If Portable still wished to be associated with Queen Dami, she insisted that he publicly apologize to her, the people of Ibadan, and Oyo.
The video also showed Queen Dami seated in the back seat of the car while her mother spoke, adding another layer of tension to the ongoing drama.
The feud gained attention when Portable accused Queen Dami of infidelity, allegedly based on claims made by her friend, Wunmi. According to sources, Queen Dami fainted as a result of the allegations and the subsequent online confrontations.
The video sparked varied reactions online, with some criticizing Queen Dami and her mother, while others offered words of encouragement.
This ongoing drama continues to unfold, with many Nigerians keenly watching the developments between Portable, Queen Dami, and her family.
