Portable Welcomes Son With Wife Bewaji After Boxing Match Defeat

Nigerian singer, Portable has announced the arrival of a baby boy with his partner, Omobewaji Ewatomi, also known as Bewaji.

Abia Radio News reports that the news was shared on Friday after Bewaji posted on her Instagram page, where she expressed joy over a safe delivery and introduced the newborn, identified as Jamal Iremide.

Portable later confirmed the birth on his own social media page, thanking Bewaji and celebrating the addition to his family.

The child’s arrival happened on the same day the singer lost a celebrity boxing match to Carter Efe. The bout ended with a unanimous decision in favour of Carter Efe.

Despite the result in the ring, Portable showed more excitement about becoming a father again. He shared that while he had hoped to win the fight, the birth of his son meant more to him. He also revealed that the baby was born while he was still involved in the boxing event, noting that the moment was special for him as he welcomed another child into his home.

He wrote: “God bless you more, Omoleye Omobewaji mi. Thanks for making me happy. 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.

“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.”
