Nigerian street-hop fire starter, Habeeb Okikiola, well known as Portable, is naming names, dropping bombs, and ruffling egos like it’s sport.
This is happening in a genre where most artists keep their feuds in the DMs or disguised lyrics.
Known for his viral antics and blunt delivery, Portable, has turned the Nigerian music scene into his battleground. Through a flurry of diss tracks and unfiltered Instagram rants, he’s declared lyrical war on peers, exes, dancers, and even legends—staking his claim as Afrobeats’ most unpredictable disruptor.
Who’s Been Hit by Portable’s Verbal Missiles?
Asake
Diss Track: Your Papa No Be Army
The Target: Portable ridiculed Asake’s Grammy loss, mockingly highlighting his military-style red carpet outfit.
He didn’t stop there—he questioned Asake’s command of English and warned him to “hire a teacher.”
Impact: Instagram went wild. The diss wasn’t just lyrical—it was theatrical, punctuated with live freestyles and meme-worthy jabs that turned social media into a street-hop amphitheatre.
2. Poco Lee
Ongoing Fallout: Zazoo Zeh Saga
The Target: Once collaborators, now rivals. Portable reignited beef over claims that Poco Lee hijacked both credit and cash from their breakout track Zazoo Zeh. He insists Poco collected most of the performance money and positioned himself as the song’s lead act.
Impact: What began as a dance anthem is now a war drum. Fans are divided—some say Portable’s complaints have merit, others call it old beef reheated.
Bobrisky & Queen Dami
Tracks: Brotherhood (Bobrisky), Bye‑bye to Jaga Jaga (Queen Dami)
The Targets: Portable didn’t hold back, going after Bobrisky for alleged slights in the fashion world and Queen Dami following the crash of their whirlwind romance. His disses here blend heartbreak, shade, and street wisdom with his usual dose of chaos.
Collateral Damage: Other Celebs in the Crosshairs
Portable’s diss track crusade isn’t limited to the studio. His Instagram Live sessions have become WWE SmackDown for Afrobeats. Here’s a taste of others he’s clashed with:
Zlatan Ibile – Accused of playing both sides in Portable’s fallout with Davido.
Vector – Suspected of sneak dissing him in a symbolic “Lion King” verse.
Wizkid & Burna Boy – Portable called them out for ignoring him and lacking street “relevance.”
Seyi Vibez – Ongoing cold war, with Portable accusing Seyi’s fans of harassment.
Saheed Osupa – Initially insulted Portable, then issued a public apology after backlash.
Portable’s Blueprint: Chaos as a Career Strategy
While many Nigerian artists are fine-tuning brand partnerships and streaming strategies, Portable is building his influence the old-school way—with drama, diss, and directness. He represents a subculture that sees fame not as a curated image but as raw, loud survival.
His diss tracks operate more like digital grenades—exploding on TikTok and WhatsApp statuses before most streaming platforms can catch up.
Whether you love him or loathe him, one thing’s clear: Portable is the pulse of street-hop rebellion—unfiltered, unbothered, and unmissable.
Final Note:
He may not walk away with Grammys or endorsements, but with every diss, Portable reminds Nigeria—and the Afrobeats elite—that controversy still sells. And in the chaos, he’s carved a throne all his own.
