Nigerian singer, Portable, has once again stirred the social media hornet’s nest – this time, for his flirtatious advances toward Nollywood actress and billionaire wife, Regina Daniels. In a now-viral video, Portable is seen engaging Regina in what many online users described as “romantic overstepping”, with suggestive tones and overly personal comments.
While the actress appeared composed and smiled through the interaction, fans were quick to call out Portable’s behavior as “boldly disrespectful,” especially considering Regina’s marital status to politician and business mogul, Ned Nwoko. The video triggered an avalanche of online reactions, ranging from amusement to outright condemnation.
Social Media Users React: “Very Disrespectful!”
X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook were flooded with hot takes shortly after the clip surfaced. One trending post read, “Portable is mad! This is very disrespectful to Ned Nwoko. You no fear billionaire?” Another comment gathered traction with the line: “This one pass cruise. Na pure disrespect masked as showbiz!”
Others, however, argued that Portable thrives on controversy, and his interaction might have been just another publicity stunt. Still, many agreed that crossing the line with someone’s wife on camera – especially a high-profile figure like Regina – was a recipe for trouble.
If Ned Reacts, Na Oppression Nigerians Go Call Am” – The Billionaire’s Dilemma
A growing narrative suggests that Ned Nwoko is in a precarious position. While many Nigerians believe Portable crossed a red line, others are already warning that any strong reaction from Ned could be framed as ‘elite oppression’ against a street-grown artist. It’s a public relations minefield.
One user posted: “Portable na street guy. If Ned flex power now, everybody go shout say rich man dey bully poor man. E no go end well.” This sentiment has created an environment where the public awaits Ned’s response with both curiosity and caution.
Portable: Clout Chaser or Clueless? Industry Veterans Speak Out
While Portable’s antics are not new, this particular case has caught the attention of industry veterans and PR consultants who say the line between entertainment and harassment should not be blurred. A popular Nollywood director said, “We dey laugh now, but make una imagine if person do this kind thing to Portable own babe – e go break bottle.”
Some entertainment insiders also believe this is a calculated move by Portable to insert himself into a trending conversation and raise his brand visibility. His history of chaotic self-marketing, including public rants, arrests, and viral stunts, supports this theory. But whether this latest stunt helps or hurts his career remains to be seen.
Regina Daniels Remains Silent, Fans Read Between the Lines
Regina Daniels, known for her composure, has remained tight-lipped about the incident, choosing instead to post regular lifestyle content and family updates on her social media platforms. But that hasn’t stopped fans from reading between the lines, especially after she posted a cryptic caption about “knowing your worth.”
Her silence has also fueled discussions, with some speculating that she’s playing it cool to avoid escalating the issue or out of respect for her husband’s public image. However, critics argue that a subtle show of disapproval or public boundary-setting would have sent a stronger message to Portable and others who may emulate such behavior.
What’s Next? Public Accountability or Celebrity Pass
With the dust far from settling, many are watching to see whether Portable will issue an apology or continue riding the controversy wave. Meanwhile, fans are also keeping an eye on Ned Nwoko – a man known for being measured but firm – to see if he’ll make a statement or handle things behind the scenes.
This situation has ignited a larger conversation about celebrity boundaries, public respect, and the cost of clout-chasing in Nigerian entertainment. One thing is clear: in the age of social media, even a few seconds of viral footage can create weeks of fallout.
