“I Was Fighting While My Wife Was In Labour” – Portable Welcomes New Baby With Bewaji

Controversial singer Portable has welcomed a baby boy with his wife Omobewaji Ewatomi.

On Friday, Bewaji shared the news on her Instagram page, thanking God for a safe delivery.

She wrote “Alhamdulillah” and also tagged what appears to be the baby’s Instagram page, which shows his name as Jamal Iremide.

Portable also posted on Instagram, expressing gratitude to Bewaji and saying she has brought him happiness.

The baby was born on the same day Portable lost to Carter Efe in a celebrity boxing match by unanimous decision.

Speaking on his Instagram story, the singer said he values his child more than any prize.

He explained that although he hoped to win a belt, he is happier celebrating the birth of his son, noting that money can buy a belt but not a child.

“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,” he 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.”

This is the third child Portable and Bewaji have together.
