Portable Praises Burna Boy as a Real One, Offers Help Amid Social Media Drama

Street pop sensation Portable has expressed his support for Burna Boy amidst the ongoing social media drama between the Grammy-winning artist and socialite businessman Cubana Chief Priest. Taking to his Instagram story, Portable openly praised Burna Boy, referring to him as a “real one” and acknowledging his powerful presence in the music industry.

In the post, Portable described Burna Boy as “1 man na 7 man,” expressing his admiration for the international hitmaker and declaring him to be “bigger than them.” Portable’s words were a clear sign of his respect for Burna Boy, especially in contrast to the recent tensions between Burna Boy and other industry figures.

The controversial artist further offered his support, telling Burna Boy that he could show him “the real ones at the top” in response to Burna Boy’s earlier message about the fake lives some colleagues lead in the industry. In his post, Portable said, “Zazuu no fake life, no scam life, Akoi Grace. If you wan know the real about the top ask me I follow dey at the top. Only God I never see. Who is big is big.”

While Portable has made headlines in the past for his often controversial actions and remarks, his comments about Burna Boy reflect a shared sense of authenticity and originality between the two. It seems that Portable views Burna Boy as someone who, like himself, doesn’t shy away from speaking the truth, regardless of the backlash.

Both artists have started 2025 with dramatic moments in the limelight. While Portable recently faced backlash after being stopped from performing at a concert in Ibadan due to safety concerns linked to his earlier comments about the city, his praise for Burna Boy comes at a time when the latter is embroiled in his own public feuds. Despite the chaos, Portable’s gesture of support highlights his admiration for Burna Boy’s status and success.

Fans are now eagerly awaiting to see if this show of solidarity between the two artists leads to further collaboration or simply remains a moment of mutual respect in the unpredictable world of Nigerian music.
