Controversial street-pop artist Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has stirred fresh online conversations by throwing his support behind Burna Boy. Recently, Burna Boy has been involved in an ongoing rift with Davido and Cubana Chiefpriest.
In a bold statement shared on his Instagram story, Portable hailed Burna Boy as the biggest artist in Nigeria while taking a swipe at Davido and his associates. He uploaded a picture with captions eulogizing the Ye crooner. He also added that Burna does not exhibit fake life:
Portable’s stance comes amid an escalating feud involving Burna Boy, Davido, and Cubana Chiefpriest. The feud began when Burna Boy reportedly targeted Cubana Chiefpriest in what many have dubbed a proxy war meant for the DMW boss, Davido. During the altercation, Burna Boy slammed Davido, Chiefpriest, and their social circle, further fueling the rivalry.
In a dramatic move, Burna Boy reportedly gave $30,000 to an individual said to be Chiefpriest’s younger brother, encouraging him to use it to establish himself. The gesture, interpreted by many as a show of power, only added to the tension.
Cubana Chiefpriest, however, did not hold back. He accused Burna Boy of being impotent while sharing videos of the singer performing at his birthday celebration in Owerri, Imo State.
Portable, known for his controversial takes, seemed to relish adding fuel to the fire. His Instagram post not only praised Burna Boy but also reignited his past tensions with Davido. It’s worth recalling that the “Zazu” crooner had a heated exchange with Davido in 2024 during a visit to the United States.
The latest chapter in this feud has sparked widespread reactions online, with fans and critics alike taking sides. As the drama continues, it remains to be seen whether Burna Boy, Davido, or Cubana Chiefpriest will address Portable’s comments directly.
