Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has stirred up conversations on social media after a video surfaced of him confronting his younger brother, Badmus Yunus, over not owning a car—even though he’s currently a 300-level university student and more formally educated than the singer himself.
The video, originally posted by @AsakyGRN on X (formerly Twitter), features Portable addressing his brother—whom he confirmed shares the same father—about his lack of visible progress. “You’re in 300 level, you don’t own a car. You’re more educated than I am,” he said, drawing comparisons between formal education and financial success.
The clip quickly gained traction online, sparking mixed reactions. While some criticized Portable for publicly shaming his brother and applying undue pressure, others defended him, seeing it as typical sibling banter or a reflection of real-world hustle culture.
Here’s how some users reacted:
- @Yaz_emipre: “Being able to sing is what really matters—not signing your brother. Music isn’t a family business.”
- @Paul69106460: “It’s one thing to joke with your sibling, another to post it for everyone to see. Shaming him for not owning a car in school? Is money everything?”
- @oluwa_samuel: “Hope he won’t derail his studies just to join Portable’s record label. He might regret it later.”
- @KyleLowe7: “You all say music isn’t a family business, yet Shallipopi brought his whole generation into music.”
- @jessebinyet001: “Imagine Portable flexing and his brother has no BTC. 😂 God help us.”
- @Dophamine82_: “You can take a monkey out of the zoo, but not the zoo out of the monkey. Real wealth builds the whole family tree.”
