In a viral video circulating across social media platforms, Portable expressed his frustration with Burna Boy for allegedly ignoring his attempts to connect after gifting him a whopping N20 million. The monetary gift, which reportedly followed Portable’s victory over Speed Darlington in a recent celebrity boxing match in Lagos, was seen by many as a gesture of goodwill. But for Portable, it seems the gesture has fallen short of his expectations.
“Burna Boy gave me 20 million naira, but he won’t reply my DMs on Instagram, pick my calls, or even link me. I don’t even have his number,” Portable lamented in the video. “The 20M will finish — what I really need from him is a verse. Why are you so stingy with your replies?”
The outspoken singer, known for his unapologetic personality and viral antics, clarified that while he appreciates the cash gift, his greater desire is a musical collaboration—an opportunity he believes could elevate his career far beyond a one-time financial boost.
The situation adds another layer to the web of drama that often surrounds Portable, whose rise to fame has been punctuated by controversy, street brawls, and bold public statements. It also casts Burna Boy, who has had his fair share of feuds and social media run-ins, into a new spotlight—one that fans will likely watch closely.
As of now, Burna Boy has not publicly responded to Portable’s remarks.
