Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, is once again stirring drama online this time by calling out Grammy-winning superstar Burna Boy for allegedly snubbing him after gifting him a whopping ₦20 million.
In a new video circulating across social media platforms, Portable accused Burna Boy of ignoring his calls, messages, and attempts to reach out for a collaboration, weeks after receiving the generous cash gift.
“Burna Boy gave me ₦20 million, but he won’t reply my DMs on Instagram, pick my calls, or even link me,” Portable lamented. “I don’t even have his number. The ₦20 million will finish what I really need from him is a verse. Why are you so stingy with your replies?”
The drama began shortly after Portable defeated Speed Darlington in a much-hyped celebrity boxing match in Lagos. Reports later confirmed that Burna Boy, who has his own beef with Speed Darlington, rewarded Portable with ₦20 million for the victory.
At the time, the internet was buzzing over Burna’s unexpected show of support. But according to Portable, the gesture came with no further communication, and he now feels ghosted.
In his passionate video rant, Portable said he’s grateful for the money but insisted that what he truly desires is a verse from Burna Boy — a chance to collaborate musically and take his career to the next level.
“I’m not ungrateful. But I need opportunity, not just charity,” he said. “You gave me money, but now you don’t even pick my calls. Na verse go make me blow pass.”
The call-out has since divided fans online. While some supported Portable’s cry for a music collab, others accused him of being ungrateful and airing private issues publicly.
“You got ₦20 million and you’re still complaining?” one user wrote.
“Portable is right. What’s a one-time gift compared to a feature that could elevate him forever?” another argued.
This isn’t the first time Portable has clashed with fellow artists over collaborations or recognition. He’s previously had spats with Davido, Wizkid, and even his former associates in the Zeh Nation movement.
Whether Burna Boy will respond or continue to maintain silence remains to be seen, but fans are watching closely — and so is the internet.
