Nigerian singer Portable has announced the birth of a baby boy with his partner, Omobewaji Ewatomi, hours after losing a celebrity boxing match to Carter Efe.
Omobewaji shared the news on Instagram on Friday, thanking God for a safe delivery.
“Alhamdullillah,” she wrote while also revealing the newborn’s name as Jamal Iremide through a newly created Instagram page.
Portable also took to social media to celebrate the arrival of his son and appreciate Omobewaji.
“God bless you more, Omoleye Omobewaji mi. Thanks for making me happy,” he wrote.
Speaking after his boxing loss, the singer said the birth of his child meant more to him than winning a championship belt.
“I have given birth, congratulations to me. I thought I would carry a belt, but I carried my child instead. You can buy a belt with money, but you can’t buy a child,” Portable said.

“While my wife was in labour, I was fighting. She gave birth to a boy. I wanted a third belt for my children; I already have two. I have given birth, you can have the belt.”
The singer and Omobewaji now share three children together.
Portable had previously sparked reactions online after revealing in 2022 that he intended to marry 12 wives before turning 40. Despite that statement, he recently described Omobewaji as his only wife, while referring to the other women linked to him as baby mamas.
