Nollywood actress Laide Bakare has been at the center of a brewing social media storm this week, following a public fallout with controversial singer, Portable. This comes just weeks after the actress was unveiled as the face of the 2025 Osun Osogbo Festival and spoke about her political ambitions.
The feud with Portable erupted after the singer reportedly made some disparaging remarks about Bakare in one of his live videos. In response, a visibly angry Bakare took to her own social media to issue a stern warning to Portable, telling him to "stay out of her business." The exact cause of the dispute remains speculative, but it has quickly escalated, with both celebrities' fans and followers weighing in.
This recent controversy follows a period of positive developments for the actress. In May, it was announced that Bakare would be the official face of the historic Osun Osogbo Festival, a significant cultural endorsement. Around the same time, she also made headlines for her statements about her political aspirations, declaring her intention to "redefine politics in Nigeria."
However, the path has not been entirely smooth for Bakare. Earlier in the year, she was involved in a public altercation with fellow actress Eniola Badmus at a movie premiere. She also recently had to address a cryptic social media post that many interpreted as a veiled message towards a colleague, which she later clarified.
The ongoing spat with Portable has, for now, overshadowed her recent professional achievements, drawing significant media attention and public discourse. As of now, the situation between the two entertainers remains tense.
