Controversial Nigerian singer, Portable, has once again caused a stir with his bold claim that he has produced more hit songs than Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy. The statement, which was made during a video that has since gone viral on social media, has sparked widespread attention and debates among fans and critics alike.
In the video, the Zazu crooner confidently asserts that he has outperformed Burna Boy in terms of creating hit songs, despite the latter's global recognition and multiple awards. Portable, known for his brash personality and controversial remarks, showed no hesitation in declaring himself the superior hitmaker.
Addressing the issue directly, Portable referenced his popular track “Tony Montana” as an example of his successful music catalog. He then went on to challenge Burna Boy, calling him out with the statement, “Uncle Burna, I have more hits than you.” Portable’s confidence in his claim was clear, and he showed no signs of backing down despite the possible backlash.
The remark is just one of many bold statements that the singer has made over the years, which often lead to public backlash. Portable has become well-known for his unfiltered opinions, which have sparked reactions from fans, fellow celebrities, and the public alike. His latest declaration, however, has put him back in the spotlight as a self-proclaimed force to be reckoned with in the Nigerian music scene.
Social media users were quick to respond to the claim. One user, @TygaOfLagos, tweeted, “Him say first fear to even mention the name self 😂,” poking fun at the audacity of Portable’s claim. Another user, @teemah_zee64060, responded, “Everybody Dey create happiness for themselves, so he too join them 😂😂😂, no be only heat song na temperature and cold song🤣,” suggesting that the discussion of hit songs is subjective and that there are different types of success in the industry.
It’s important to note that Portable’s latest claim comes amid another wave of controversy surrounding his recent comments about Nigerian artist Tiwa Savage. Portable had previously made headlines for expressing an unfiltered interest in having an affair with Tiwa Savage, which further fueled the ongoing debate about his behavior and his penchant for controversy.
As the discussion continues to unfold, many are eager to see if this bold claim by Portable will have any lasting impact on his career, or if it’s simply another chapter in the ongoing drama surrounding the controversial artist.
