Nigerian singer Portable has taken to social media to express his frustration with Grammy award-winning artist Burna Boy. According to Portable, Burna Boy gifted him a staggering ₦20 million after he reportedly defeated Speed Darlington, but has since been ignoring his attempts to connect.
In a recent video, Portable revealed that despite the generous cash gift, he and Burna Boy have never had a direct conversation. He stated that he has tried reaching out several times via calls and messages, but Burna Boy has not responded, nor does he follow him back on Instagram.
While showing gratitude for the money, Portable emphasized that a music collaboration would mean more to him than the monetary gift. He questioned why Burna Boy was being “stingy” with his attention, saying:
“Someone who gave me ₦20 million has never replied to me on Instagram. I’ve called him, he doesn’t answer. He doesn’t follow me, I don’t even have his number—yet he gave me money. Why is he being stingy with his replies?”
