Portable Turns Legal Troubles into Music with New EP ‘Ogo Most Wanted’
Controversial street-hop star Portable is once again capitalizing on his legal drama by channeling it into his music. The singer recently announced a new project titled ‘Ogo Most Wanted’, a move that comes amidst his ongoing legal battles with the Ogun State Police, who recently declared him wanted for allegedly assaulting government officials.
Portable, known for his ability to turn viral moments into music, took to his Instagram page to share the news of the upcoming release, proving once again that he thrives on controversy and unpredictability.
A History of Viral-Inspired Music
For fans and observers, Portable’s latest move comes as no surprise. Since breaking into the mainstream in 2021 with his Olamide-assisted hit ‘Zazzu Zeh’, the singer has mastered the art of using controversy to fuel his music career.
His latest legal trouble isn’t the first time Portable has used trending events as creative inspiration. In 2024, he dropped the ‘Chosen EP’, riding on the viral “I Am A Chosen” trend. That same year, he released ‘Spiderman’, a track inspired by his infamous fence-scaling attempt to evade arrest after failing to pay a debt on his G Wagon Brabus.
Most recently, Portable made headlines for releasing a diss track targeting Asake, mocking the Grammy-nominated singer for failing to secure a win at the 67th Grammy Awards. This further reinforced his reputation as an artist who thrives on controversy and competition.
International Recognition and Continued Success
Despite his numerous scandals, Portable has managed to expand his fan base beyond Nigeria, securing high-profile collaborations with international artists. His biggest post-‘Zazzu Zeh’ success came when he teamed up with British-Nigerian rapper Skepta on the hit single ‘Tony Montana’.
He further leveraged his time in the UK by releasing the ‘Tony Montana of London’ EP. Likewise, after touring Canada in 2025, he released the ‘Canadian Burger’ EP, showing his ability to adapt and turn personal experiences into musical projects.
What to Expect from ‘Ogo Most Wanted’
Portable’s upcoming EP, ‘Ogo Most Wanted’, appears to follow his usual pattern of using controversy to remain in the spotlight. Now out on bail after turning himself in to authorities, the singer has promised to stay out of trouble—though history suggests otherwise.
With the new project on the way, fans are eager to see whether Portable will truly transform his public image or continue his trouble-making antics that have defined his career so far. Regardless, one thing is certain: Portable knows how to turn chaos into content, and his latest EP is just another chapter in his unpredictable journey.
