Fresh out of detention, controversial street-hop artist Portable is wasting no time turning real-life drama into melody. Just days after regaining freedom following a criminal defamation petition by Fuji legend Saheed Osupa, Portable has teased a new track titled ‘Oni Reason’, reflecting on his latest legal ordeal.
In a post shared on Instagram, the singer hinted that his life’s journey is “divinely orchestrated,” a message that’s woven into the fabric of his new song. Known for documenting his trials through music, this latest single follows his recurring pattern of turning controversy into creative content.
This isn’t new territory for the Zazuu Zeh hitmaker. After his arrest in Ogun State for allegedly assaulting officials, he dropped the ‘Most Wanted’ EP. Later, he capitalized on the viral “I Am A Chosen” trend with the ‘Chosen EP’. And who can forget ‘Spiderman’, released after he was caught on camera scaling a fence to dodge arrest over unpaid car debts?
Portable’s strategy of making music out of moments that go viral or stir public attention has been key to sustaining his relevance in Nigeria’s music scene.
Following his breakout, Portable’s most significant milestone remains ‘Tony Montana’ with Skepta. That international collab birthed the ‘Tony Montana of London’ EP, followed by the ‘Canadian Burger’ EP after touring Canada in 2025.
As fans await ‘Oni Reason’, it’s clear Portable is once again ready to turn chaos into chart talk.
