Controversial Nigerian singer Portable, known for his energetic street anthems and unfiltered persona, has once again found himself in the news, this time with a rather audacious message for Grammy-winning Afrofusion superstar, Burna Boy. Fresh off a reported generous gift of ₦20 million from Burna Boy following a recent boxing match victory, Portable took to social media with a somewhat perplexing yet very “Portable” plea.

In a now-viral clip, the “Zazoo Zehh” crooner expressed his surprise at the substantial financial gift, highlighting that the African Giant had never replied to his Instagram messages, nor answered his calls, and doesn’t even follow him on the platform. Despite this lack of direct communication, Burna Boy’s generosity was undeniable. However, Portable, in his characteristic bluntness, suggested that a musical collaboration, a “feature,” would be far more valuable to him than the millions received, quipping that he could easily spend that amount in a single day.

Burna Boy, born Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, is a globally recognized force in the music industry. His unique blend of Afrobeats, dancehall, reggae, and other genres has earned him international acclaim, numerous awards, and a dedicated fanbase. Portable, on the other hand, whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola, rose to fame with his infectious hit “Zazoo Zehh” in late 2021. Known for his raw energy, streetwise lyrics, and often controversial public behavior, Portable has carved a unique niche for himself in the Nigerian music scene.

Whether this public appeal will lead to the desired feature remains to be seen, but it certainly adds another intriguing chapter to the ever-unpredictable story of Portable.
