Street-hop star Portable is stirring the waters again after boldly declaring in a fresh interview that he has helped more people than heavyweights Olamide, Davido and Wizkid.
Speaking on a televised entertainment programme, the controversial singer boasted that his street charity and constant support for the young boys around him beat anything the bigger stars have done. The comments were clipped and shared online, where they quickly exploded into a full debate.
Many social media users laughed off the claim as classic Portable drama and started listing scholarships, giveaways and life-changing opportunities linked to the three superstars. Others argued that the singer has also put upcoming artistes and crew members in the spotlight and deserved some credit for that.
As usual, the conversation ended up bigger than the quote itself, touching on visibility, receipts and how to measure who truly does the most for the streets. One thing is certain though: Portable has once again turned a simple chat into prime timeline content.

Comment sections lit up with jokes and hot takes as people updated their imaginary scoreboards for subtle jabs. Whether the moment fades quietly or fuels a fresh round of stan wars, one thing is obvious: Naija pop culture does not sleep, even when some concert goers allegedly do.
