In a candid and somewhat humorous reaction, Portable expressed his surprise at the financial gift from Burna Boy, noting that despite the large sum, they had never had any direct interaction before. According to Portable, he had previously attempted to reach out to Burna Boy via Instagram, but the superstar did not respond.
“I Dey call am, he no pick, e no follow me, I no get em number and yet he gave me money. Why he dey stingy with his replies?” Portable said in his reaction. He went on to joke that he could easily spend the N20 million within a day, and instead of just accepting the cash, he humorously suggested that a collaboration on a song would be a more fitting exchange for the generosity Burna Boy showed.
“Person wey give me 20 million never reply me for Instagram before. He should give me a feature cos I can spend 20 million finish in a day,” Portable added, bringing his usual bold and unfiltered personality to the conversation.
Portable’s comments have sparked a wave of reactions from fans and the entertainment industry. Some see it as a bold, humorous move by Portable to get Burna Boy’s attention, while others feel it’s a genuine attempt to secure a collaboration with one of Nigeria’s biggest music stars.
For many, the idea of Burna Boy and Portable collaborating is intriguing, considering the contrasting styles they bring to the Nigerian music scene. Burna Boy, known for his global Afrobeats influence, and Portable, who gained attention with his unique street-pop sound, could potentially create a groundbreaking track that blends both worlds.
The N20 million gift from Burna Boy came after Portable’s surprising win in the celebrity boxing match with Speed Darlington. Despite the dramatic nature of the fight, which saw Speed Darlington unable to continue after reportedly injuring his arm in the first round, Portable’s win was widely celebrated by fans. This led to Burna Boy’s unexpected gesture, which many see as a supportive act from the Afrobeats legend.
However, as Portable expressed, the financial gift didn’t come with any prior rapport, sparking his call for a more musical collaboration with Burna Boy, considering the gesture of kindness. Could this lead to a new music partnership? Fans are eager to see whether Burna Boy will respond to the request, and whether these two artists will unite in the studio.
True to his usual persona, Portable didn’t shy away from expressing his thoughts publicly. His candid nature, coupled with the humor in his request, has further solidified his position as one of Nigeria’s most outspoken and unpredictable stars.
