Street-hop singer Portable is back in the headlines not for a new hit, but for another controversial jab at a public figure, Lege Miami.
This time, it’s Nollywood actor and matchmaker Lege Miami, who became the subject of Portable’s latest song following a viral scandal involving a leaked explicit video.
The track, which features the lyric “Wo ni Lege ma n soapy…”, a slang-laced dig implying inappropriate behavior, has sparked widespread reactions online. While some fans found it humorous or entertaining, others are beginning to question whether Portable’s growing obsession with clout and controversy is hurting his artistry.
Known for his breakout track Zazoo Zeh, Portable rose to fame on the back of raw energy, street appeal, and catchy choruses. But in recent months, his music releases have increasingly leaned on viral moments, public beefs, and trending scandals to stay relevant. Critics argue that this pattern could be distracting from his potential as a serious artist.
Instead of addressing deeper themes or showcasing musical growth, his latest song once again focuses on sensationalism, using Lege Miami’s alleged scandal as bait for attention. The track also name-drops high-profile figures like Seyi Tinubu and fashion entrepreneur Seyi Vodi, further fueling debates around Portable’s reliance on name recognition and controversy.
In response to the song, Lege Miami posted a calm but pointed video quoting the words of Fuji legend Ayinde Barrister, subtly warning Portable without escalating the matter. But the clash has already added to Portable’s growing reputation as Nigeria’s king of chaos, a title that garners views, but may cost him long-term musical credibility.
As fans continue to stream his music and follow his antics, one question lingers; is Portable building a legacy through his sound or simply riding the wave of social media drama for clicks? Only time, and his next release, will tell.
