Controversial Nigerian street-pop sensation Portable has sparked intense reactions across social media after teasing a brand-new song inspired by unverified reports of dancer Poco Lee’s arrest in the United Kingdom.
Never one to shy away from real-time controversies, Portable quickly turned the viral speculation into musical ammunition, renewing a highly publicized, long-running feud with his former collaborator.
In the preview of the track, Portable mockingly sings in Yoruba, “Won ti grab Poco, for Obodo oyinbo, Ofi Agidi gba pata lowo oyinbo” (translating to: “They have arrested Poco in the white man’s land; he used stubbornness to snatch underwear from the white man”). The teaser has ignited waves of laughter and debate online due to the artist’s legendary speed in translating trending gossip into studio recordings.
A Complicated History: From ZaZoo Zehh to Constant Feuds
The tension between Portable and Poco Lee dates back to late 2021, when both collaborated with legendary rapper Olamide on the smash-hit single “ZaZoo Zehh.” The record served as Portable’s breakout hit, establishing him as a household name in the Nigerian music industry.
However, the sweet taste of success quickly turned sour. Shortly after the song went viral, Portable publicly accused Poco Lee of intellectual property theft and financial exploitation, claiming the dancer took the lion’s share of cash gifts and tried to position himself as the owner of the track. While industry leaders repeatedly stepped in to broker peace, occasional shade has continued to fly between the two parties over the years.
Unverified Rumors and Ongoing Speculation
Despite the online frenzy surrounding Portable’s new lyrics, the underlying claims regarding Poco Lee’s alleged arrest in the UK have not been independently verified. No official statements or formal reports from law enforcement authorities have confirmed any such incident.
Poco Lee remains highly active in the entertainment scene, having recently released his single “Opera Mini” in June 2026. While the dancer’s camp has chosen to remain quiet regarding the rumors, Portable’s quick-strike diss track has ensured that the conversation remains at the forefront of Nigerian pop culture discussions.
