Portable’s diss tracks have undoubtedly sparked strong reactions within the Nigerian music scene.
Portable, a Nigerian singer known for his energetic performances and sometimes controversial remarks, has made a name for himself by releasing diss tracks that often target his colleagues and critics.
These tracks have become a defining feature of his career, showcasing his ability to turn internet moments and personal feuds into catchy songs.
Portable’s diss tracks have targeted a diverse range of individuals, from fellow musicians to public figures.
His feud with Zinoleesky, for instance, has resulted in a track where he mocks the rapper’s Ferrari, suggesting he can’t even fuel it himself.
This level of personal attack has certainly raised eyebrows within the industry.
Portable’s diss tracks have even extended to public figures, such as the controversial Apostle Suleman.
In a satirical single titled “Apostle,” Portable mocks the preacher for preaching faith while moving in bulletproof cars, a clear jab at the perceived hypocrisy of some religious leaders.
Portable also released a diss track against Bobrisky: “Yansh like Fufu“. The songs were in response to Bobrisky winning the Best Dressed Female award at Eniola Ajao’s movie premiere, which Portable felt was an insult to the brotherhood.
Portable criticized Bobrisky for transitioning from the brotherhood to the sisterhood, calling him a “disgrace to brotherhood.”
His latest diss track is a diss track titled “SaidaBoboje” targeting Saida Boj, a content creator known for her controversial statements. The track, which Portable previewed on his Instagram live session, uses Yoruba proverbs to admonish Saida Boj against leading a reckless life and also disses her views on romantic relationships.
Perhaps one of Portable’s most audacious moves was his diss track directed at the Headies Awards, a prestigious Nigerian music award show. After being disqualified from the event, Portable released a track where he claimed to be bigger than the awards and vowed to win the Grammys instead.
Portable’s diss tracks have undoubtedly sparked strong reactions within the Nigerian music scene.
Some have praised his boldness and willingness to speak his mind, while others have criticized his approach as overly confrontational and disruptive.
The consequences of Portable’s actions have also been varied. While some of his targets have chosen to ignore the attacks, others have responded in kind, leading to further escalation of the feuds.
Portable’s unapologetic approach has made him a polarizing figure, and his willingness to use his music as a weapon has certainly kept the industry on its toes.
