‘I need more than money’ – Portable calls out Burna Boy after N20m gift

Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has publicly called out Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy for ignoring his calls and messages — despite gifting him a whopping N20 million.

Platinumpost reports that, Burna Boy reportedly gave Portable the cash gift after he emerged victorious in a celebrity boxing match against fellow artist Speed Darlington, also known as ‘Akpi’, in Lagos.

In a new video making the rounds on social media, Portable expressed his frustration over Burna Boy’s silence, stating that money alone isn’t enough.

He explained that what he really wants is for the Grammy-winning artist to collaborate with him on a song.

He lamented that Burna Boy is not replying to his messages nor picking his calls.

Portable said, “Burna Boy gave me 20 million naira, but he won’t reply my DMs on Instagram, pick my calls, or even link me. I don’t even have his number. The 20M will finish — what I really need from him is a verse. Why are you so stingy with your replies?”
