Skepta Reacts as Portable Calls Out Another Former Collaborator

British rapper Skepta has found himself at the center of social media discussions after Nigerian singer Portable took fresh shots at former mentor Olamide.

Portable, known for his controversial outbursts, recently mocked Olamide over his rumored fallout with his former signee, Asake. In a now-viral video, Portable accused the YBNL boss of failing to offer him a record deal, despite featuring on his breakout song Zazu remix. He further alleged that Olamide "snatched" his producer, dancer, and promoter from him.

Following the incident, fans quickly turned their attention to Skepta, who featured Portable on the song Tony Montana last year. With Portable’s history of publicly falling out with past collaborators, social media users speculated that Skepta could be his next target.

The UK rapper soon noticed he was trending and took to X (formerly Twitter) to ask:

"Why am I trending? Lol."

A fan cheekily responded, "I think you know why."

Skepta, amused by the situation, replied:

"I’ve just seen Portable is dragging somebody again. Apparently, I’m next. We dey wait lol."

Portable’s Pattern: Burning Bridges or Speaking His Truth?

Portable’s habit of calling out those who have helped him has become a concerning trend. From Poco Lee to Kogbagidi, Davido, and now Olamide, he has repeatedly accused his benefactors of not doing enough for him.

While some fans see Portable’s actions as bravery and honesty, others argue that his frequent outbursts are damaging his career and discouraging potential collaborators.

Is Skepta Really Next?

Though Skepta’s response suggests he is taking the situation lightly, it raises an important question—will Portable eventually turn on him too?

Skepta, a respected figure in both UK and global rap scenes, gave Portable an international platform with their collaboration. However, if history is any indicator, it might not be long before Portable shifts focus to new grievances.

The Bigger Picture: Talent vs. Character in the Music Industry

Portable is undoubtedly a talented artist with raw energy, but his frequent controversies may limit his growth in the industry. While outspokenness can be a powerful tool, burning bridges with influential figures could eventually close doors for him.

For now, fans—and Skepta himself—are watching and waiting. Will Portable appreciate those who have helped him, or will he continue his self-destructive cycle?

One thing is certain—with Portable, drama is never far away. 🎤🔥
