Controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has called out his colleague, Burna Boy, for snubbing his calls and messages after gifting him N20 million. The gift was given after Portable’s victory in a recent celebrity boxing match in Lagos. However, Portable claims that he needs more from Burna Boy than the cash gift.
Portable’s Expectations
Portable expressed his disappointment in a video message, stating that what he really wants is for Burna Boy to collaborate with him on a song. “The 20M will finish — what I really need from him is a verse,” Portable said. He lamented that Burna Boy is not replying to his messages nor picking his calls, describing the Grammy-winning artist as “stingy with his replies.”
The Gift
Burna Boy’s N20 million gift to Portable was seen as a generous gesture, but it seems that Portable’s expectations went beyond monetary gain. Portable’s desire for a collaboration with Burna Boy suggests that he values the opportunity to work with the renowned artist and potentially boost his music career.
The Fallout
The feud between Portable and Burna Boy highlights the complexities of celebrity relationships and the expectations that come with them. While Burna Boy may have intended the gift as a gesture of goodwill, Portable’s reaction suggests that he felt snubbed and undervalued. The situation raises questions about the nature of celebrity friendships and the pressures of maintaining public personas.
What’s Next?
It remains to be seen how Burna Boy will respond to Portable’s public call-out. Will he reach out to Portable and consider a collaboration, or will he ignore the situation and hope it blows over? The outcome will likely have implications for their public images and potentially their music careers.
Conclusion
The Portable-Burna Boy feud serves as a reminder that even in the world of celebrities, relationships can be complex and multifaceted. As the situation unfolds, fans and followers will be watching closely to see how these two Nigerian music stars navigate their differences and potentially work towards a resolution.
