Portable Reflects on Life Changes After Mother's Death

Portable, a popular Nigerian singer, recounted the significant impact of losing his mother at the age of 13 during an interview on the Bunch Podcast. He described how her death changed his life, forcing him into street hustling to survive.

Portable noted that while people surrounded him during his mother's death, none truly cared for him afterward. He emphasized that his mother had been his primary caregiver, providing food and pocket money.

Following her passing, he had to turn to small-scale trade to support himself, selling items like pure water. Portable reflected on the harsh realities of life that taught him lessons he believes are not learned in a classroom, highlighting the stark difference between his childhood struggles and the support he lost with his mother's death.
