Controversial street-hop singer, Portable has once again stirred reactions online as he openly complained and called out Grammy-winning Afrobeats star, Burna Boy, for allegedly ignoring him after he gifted him a staggering sum of N20 million for defeating his rival, Speed Darlington.
Recall that sometime back, news made rounds that Burna Boy surprisingly sent Portable a whopping 20 million naira cash gift following his dramatic victory over Speed Darlington in a heated social media battle. Portable, in his characteristic loud style, publicly expressed gratitude and even made a video appreciating Burna Boy’s generous gesture while seizing the opportunity to passionately beg for a music collaboration with the megastar.
However, in a recent video making the rounds online, Portable lamented bitterly that despite his several attempts to reach out to Burna Boy via Instagram direct messages and even phone calls, the singer has refused to pick his calls, reply to his messages, or give him audience. Portable expressed his disappointment, saying that it’s surprising how someone who generously gifted him such a huge amount would refuse to maintain contact afterward.
He explained that while the N20 million cash was a blessing, securing a music collaboration with the Afrobeats heavyweight would have meant much more to him career-wise and would have opened even bigger doors. Portable, known for his unfiltered statements, questioned why Burna Boy would ignore his messages after showing him such generosity.
In his words, Portable said …
“Person wey give me 20 million never reply me for Instagram before, I Dey call am, he no pick, e no follow me, I no get him number and yet he gave me money. Why he dey stingy with his replies? I don send am voice note, I don comment, I don hail am, even beg am for collabo, still he no answer me.”
