Controversial Nigerian street-pop singer Portable has narrowly escaped a serious road accident just hours before the naming ceremony of his newborn son.
The incident reportedly occurred on Thursday night in Ogun State while the singer was making preparations for the family celebration.
According to Portable, the accident happened after the brakes of his vehicle suddenly failed while he was driving. In an attempt to avoid crashing into another vehicle on the road, the singer said he deliberately swerved his car into a ditch. 
The artiste later shared videos from the scene on his Instagram story, thanking God for surviving the accident without sustaining injuries.
“My fans, join me to appreciate God. I was just driving out this evening when the accident happened,” the singer said in the viral video.
“Nothing do me oo, I came out unhurt. I suddenly realized that the car had failed brake. My people have arrived here. I thank God they are not here to carry my corpse,” he added.
Portable also revealed that he had already made elaborate preparations for his son’s naming ceremony before the unfortunate incident occurred.
“I’ve already bought two cows for my son’s naming ceremony. Thank God that the accident didn’t happen when trailer was passing on the road,” he said.
The singer’s survival has since sparked reactions from fans and followers across social media, with many expressing relief that the accident did not result in tragedy.
The naming ceremony comes shortly after Portable and his wife, Bewaji, welcomed their newborn baby.
The singer had earlier distributed free Ankara aso-ebi materials to friends and supporters in celebration of the occasion.
The birth of the child reportedly took place while Portable was involved in his celebrity boxing showdown with Carter Efe on Friday, May 1, 2026.
