In a recent social media outburst, Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, boldly asserted his dominance over his colleague, BNXN, formerly known as Buju.
Portable, known for his unfiltered remarks and unapologetic demeanor, took to his Instagram story to flaunt a screenshot showcasing his impressive 2.6 million Instagram followers, against Buju’s 1.9 million. He proclaimed, “Bojuboju am faster bigger than Buju. If grace work for you, they go talk say na juju. My face show pass your face.”
Recall that Portable recently shared his conditions for a future collaboration. He declared that any artist seeking to feature him in their song must adhere to two outrageous demands: lick his foot and purchase him a car.
The announcement came hot on the heels of Portable’s exhilarating collaboration with British-Nigerian rapper, Skepta, on the chart-topping single ‘Tony Montana.’
Speaking during an Instagram live session with his fans, Portable revealed the surprising ultimatum, shedding light on his journey from obscurity to international recognition.
“People talked down on me,” Portable reminisced, “but Skepta helped me.”

The album, which saw the light of day on February 5, is an Extended Play (the EP), featuring four hit songs such as Top Chart, Stubborn, Questions, and My Way No Be Your Way.
Unlike his absolute mix of street rendition, Tony Montana of London is a mix of Portable’s popular street genre and Afrobeats. The songs are laced with strong rhythmic flow that will keep your heart in the air for a long time to come.
Subsequent to the release of the artist’s new Album, the Nigeria-born British grime MC and rapper, Joseph Adenuga Jr, also known as Skepta, recently featured Dr Zeh on a song production, which Skepta also titled #Tony Montana.
That Skepta’s song, released to the public on March 2, does not only present Portable in another light, but it has also revolutionized the public opinion of the artist.
Following the production of the classic song, Tony Montana by Skepta, and Portable’s EP album release, Tony Montana of London, netizens have been reacting to the big surprise, congratulating the street-pop rapper on his new achievement and also stating that Portable has finally ‘upped’ his game in the Nigerian music space.
Coupled with the attitude of his new Afrobeats album, Portable has indeed carved a new outlook for himself in both national and international eyes.
