Queen Dami, the estranged wife of the late Alaafin of Oyo, Lamidi Adeyemi, publicly sought forgiveness from the monarch in what appeared to be a heartfelt move, PulseNets learnt. Taking to her official Instagram account, she expressed regret over her actions.
In her plea, Queen Dami, who left the royal palace shortly after her co-wife, Aanu, exited in November 2020, attributed her decision to the influence of friends. She implored the royal household to accept her back.
At the time of her departure, she accused the late Alaafin of mistreatment, a claim she later recanted, describing it as baseless.
Five years on, Queen Dami once again made headlines, this time apologising to her controversial lover, Portable, following a very public breakup in December 2024. PulseNets reported that the queen had announced the end of their relationship on 13 December 2024 after a dispute during a TikTok live session. Portable, a father of eight, had been vocal about the fallout.
Seeking Forgiveness
Barely a month after the separation, Queen Dami extended an olive branch to the 30-year-old singer, blaming her friends for her hasty decision. PulseNets learned that in a series of Instagram Story posts on Thursday, Queen Dami admitted being misled by a friend, identified as an accessories vendor based in Lagos, who allegedly influenced her departure from Portable’s home.
Despite earlier accusing Portable of not being committed, Queen Dami confessed her regret, stating, “Relationships should not be public projects.” She added:
“99 advisers, zero helpers. Trust nobody; the unfortunate ones will advise and still talk bad about you behind your back. True love never dies. No matter what, follow your heart, and that’s what I’m about to do. God help me.
“Your relationship doesn’t need to make sense to anybody except you and your partner. It’s a relationship, not a community project. There’s no love without forgiveness, and there’s no forgiveness without love. It’s my happiness that matters.”
Accused Friend Reacts
The Lagos-based vendor denied the allegations, telling PulseNets she had no role in Queen Dami’s decision to leave Portable. According to her, Queen Dami was never fully committed to the singer and blamed others for her troubles.
She wrote:
“Oloshi, if Portable knew how cheap you are (Queen Dami), he would be doing an STD test every day. I’m not here to tarnish anyone’s image; I’m simply expressing my thoughts because this foolish idiot (Queen Dami) is blaming me. Did I call you or send you money to pack out? Wasn’t it my house you moved into?
“People warned me about you. I’ll respond so everyone can see how manipulative you are. I have plenty of your gist, but I wasn’t as jobless as you to share then. I’ll show the world who you really are.”
Portable Speaks
In response, Portable addressed the controversy in several Instagram Story posts, stating his intention to focus on those who reciprocate his love. The ‘Zazzuu Zeh’ crooner emphasized his intolerance for emotional stress in relationships.
He declared:
“If you don’t love your man anymore, another woman will love him even more than you ever did. All women want me—why would I die for just one woman? I can’t have money and still beg for love. You’ve become my enemy if you don’t appreciate me anymore.
“Everyone is cursing me, speaking badly about me. Please help me ask my wife why she doesn’t pray for me anymore. Why does she make me feel empty while living under my roof? She doesn’t post about me anymore, is no longer happy with me, and doesn’t appreciate all I do. Please, help me ask her where she truly stands.”

The singer concluded by reaffirming his faith in God over any human relationship:
“I can’t fear God and also fear a woman. Why wouldn’t I seek love elsewhere if you stop showing me love? All women are blessings, so value the one who values you too. The wife of a deity belongs to Obatala. They won’t leave, but I’ll face the consequences if they misbehave. The Zazuu spirit is real—you’re not going anywhere.”
Portable also released a video stressing the importance of mutual respect in marriage and cautioning against pride in relationships. PulseNets recalled that he confirmed his relationship with Queen Dami in August 2023.
