Street-hop sensation Portable has shared his appreciation for rapper Skepta after receiving royalties from their hit 2024 collaboration, “Tony Montana.”

The song, released in early 2024, became one of Portable’s biggest hits, pairing the Nigerian artist with British-Nigerian Grime legend Skepta in an unexpected but successful partnership. Portable took to Instagram to thank Skepta, sharing his excitement after receiving his first payment.

God bless you @skepta. Money don enter. Big thanks @sonymusic,” Portable posted, expressing his joy and gratitude.

Skepta responded by reposting Portable’s message on his X account, captioning it, “Greed no dey my dictionary,” emphasizing his fair dealings and generosity.

Portable’s reaction aligns with his history of speaking candidly about his relationships with other artists. After rising to fame with the Olamide-assisted hit “Zazzu,” Portable accused Poco Lee, who facilitated the remix, of trying to cheat him out of his earnings.

The outspoken singer has continued to make headlines, often accusing industry colleagues of denying him his dues, including four-time Grammy nominee Davido, whom he claimed failed to contribute a verse to one of his songs.

Portable has kicked off 2025 in typical fashion, attracting attention for his bold statements. Recently, his scheduled performance in Ibadan was canceled by organizers citing safety concerns after his controversial remarks about the city offended some residents.

Despite his often polarizing antics, Portable remains a significant figure in Nigeria’s street-hop scene, with hits like “Tony Montana” reinforcing his musical influence.
