Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has publicly hailed Burna Boy as the biggest star among his peers, applauding his authenticity and grace. In a heartfelt Instagram Story post, Portable shared a photo of Burna Boy and accompanied it with glowing words.
“1 man na 7 man you big pass them @burnaboygram. Zazuu no fake life na scam life. Akoi grace. If you wan know the real about the top ask me. I follow dey at the top. Only God see who big is big,” Portable wrote, reaffirming Burna Boy’s dominance in the music industry.
This statement comes as Burna Boy finds himself in the midst of multiple controversies, including a feud with socialite Cubana Chief Priest. The spat began when Burna Boy referred to Chief Priest as a “low-budget Rick Ross” in an Instagram post, prompting the socialite to fire back. Chief Priest accused Burna Boy of being jealous and alleged that his Grammy win was influenced by his association with Diddy.
Adding fuel to the fire, Chief Priest vowed to assist in the release of Speed Darlington, who was recently arrested for allegedly cyberstalking Burna Boy.
Observers have noted that Portable’s remarks may also be an implicit nod to Burna Boy’s ongoing rift with Davido. Portable, who has not been on good terms with Davido, appears to be aligning himself with Burna Boy amid these tensions.
While Burna Boy’s “African Giant” persona continues to polarize opinions, Portable’s endorsement underscores the respect and admiration Burna commands within certain circles of the industry. However, his comments also highlight the deep divisions and rivalries that persist in Nigeria’s entertainment scene.
