Portable leaks VeryDarkMan’s video

The online beef between Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, and social media activist VeryDarkMan has escalated to shocking new heights on July 24, 2025

Portable leaked an intimate video of VeryDarkMan, sending ripples through Nigeria’s social media space and stirring controversy over privacy invasion and online harassment on July 24.

The Bitter Feud Explodes Publicly

The digital spat between Portable and VeryDarkMan initially stemmed from opposing views on national issues.

Portable had criticized VeryDarkMan for repeatedly attacking President Bola Tinubu, especially regarding Nigeria’s difficult economic conditions.

According to Portable, VeryDarkMan was using these attacks to gain personal fame rather than fostering constructive dialogue.

Portable went further to accuse VeryDarkMan of exploiting the tragic death of late singer Mohbad.

He implies the activist sought attention by pushing a narrative of “injustice” that has yet to be legally proven or resolved.

This serious claim poured fuel on an already tense fire of online hostility.

Diss Track and Resurfaced Allegations

In retaliation, VeryDarkMan released a diss track titled “Ole,” which means “thief” in Yoruba, explicitly targeting Portable’s reputation.

The activist mocked Portable by resurfacing a 2020 video in which Portable was publicly beaten by a mob over accusations of stealing a phone and a tricycle.

This move appeared calculated to humiliate Portable and question his integrity, intensifying the feud with a personal and public jab.

Portable’s Shocking Counterattack

The conflict took a darker, more disturbing turn when Portable responded by leaking a private and intimate video of VeryDarkMan.

This act of retaliation shocked many observers and raised serious ethical and legal questions regarding privacy rights and the boundaries of social media disputes.

By releasing such compromising footage, Portable not only escalated the feud but arguably crossed a line into personal violation.

Weaponizing sensitive material in a bid for public dominance.

Public Reaction Divided

The leaked video polarized opinions across Nigeria’s online platforms.

Some supported Portable’s fight back, arguing that VeryDarkMan had provoked the conflict and deserved exposure.

Exposure for his hypocrisy and alleged exploitation of national tragedies for personal gain.

Others sharply criticized Portable for invading privacy and resorting to damaging personal attacks rather than engaging in substantive debate.

Critics warned that the viral video could threaten very real consequences for mental health, personal security, and societal norms on respect and consent.

A Disturbing Reflection on Social Media Culture

This public feud showcases the darker side of Nigeria’s social media landscape.

Where personalities clash violently under the public eye, often with little regard for legality, decency, or privacy.

Portable’s choice to release intimate content could be viewed as a dangerous precedent.

Normalizing the use of private materials as weapons in personal disputes.

The incident exposes how social media can amplify conflicts, sometimes at the expense of human dignity and justice.

Serious Questions about Accountability

The Portable vs. VeryDarkMan saga exposes deeper issues.

Is it acceptable for public figures to exploit private lives publicly to win fights?

Should platforms and authorities act promptly to police such harmful behavior?

Neither party has yet faced legal consequences, but this case shines a spotlight on Nigeria’s scant regulation of online conduct.

It calls for urgent discussions about protecting privacy, preventing harassment, and holding individuals accountable for content they share.

Possible Legal Repercussions

Experts suggest Portable’s actions could violate privacy laws and even attract criminal liability.

Unauthorized sharing of explicit or private videos is a punishable offense.

Legal counsel warn that both individuals might face lawsuits or official sanctions if complaints arise.

However, the problem remains complicated as both parties have engaged in public provocations.

Muddying the boundaries between free speech, defamation, and illegal content distribution.

The Mohbad Controversy still looms

The backdrop of this feud remains the unresolved case of late singer Mohbad.

Portable accuses VeryDarkMan of exploiting this tragedy to inflame unrest and build his online profile.

While VeryDarkMan uses the incident to challenge Portable’s character and integrity.

This unresolved justice issue now doubles as a politicized weapon in their ongoing personal war.

Distracting from the real need for accountability and closure for Mohbad’s family and fans.

The Toll on Nigerian Social Media users

This feud is emblematic of broader trends where social media followers are caught in toxic cycles of celebrity clash and moral scandal.

The public spectacle offers entertainment but at what cost?

The normalization of such personal attacks damages the political discourse and erodes trust among Nigerians.

The clash highlights privacy violations and political exploitation involving the Mohbad tragedy.

The Portable vs. VeryDarkMan episode exposes the disturbing consequences of unchecked social media wars in Nigeria.

It challenges the ethics of online activism and musical stardom.

More importantly, it demands reflection on the responsibilities that come with influence and the urgent need for regulation and respect.

Wahalaupdate pledges to continue monitoring this unfolding story and holding figures accountable in the digital space.

Nigerian society deserves a platform where engagement is fair, safe, and dignified not one marred by invasive personal attacks and unchecked abuses of power.
