Portable has openly expressed his desire to collaborate musically with Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy, saying a feature would mean more to him than money.
Over the weekend, the controversial singer revealed that Burna Boy had gifted him N20 million. While he appreciated the gesture, he admitted he would have preferred a musical collaboration instead.
“Shout out to Burna Boy. Some people want to wash my brain with advice, but this man gingered my brain with the N20 million,” Portable said. “However, the person who gave me N20 million has never replied to me on Instagram. I don’t have his number, and he doesn’t pick up my calls.”
He went on to say that despite receiving the generous cash gift, Burna Boy hasn’t responded to his direct messages, doesn’t follow him on Instagram, and hasn’t acknowledged his attempts to reach out.
“I chatted him up but he didn’t reply. Burna Boy, you gave me N20 million, but you didn’t reply to me. Give me a feature. Why are you stingy about replying to messages?” he questioned.
According to Portable, the true value lies not in the money but in the opportunity to work with Burna Boy. “He is my helper, but he should feature me instead, because the N20 million can finish in a day. If I collaborate with the person who gave me N20 million, I will go viral.”
Ultimately, he explained that more than the cash gift, what he truly wants is a chance to make music with Burna Boy.
