Portable finds inspiration in viral trend, announces new album ‘The Chosen’
Nigerian street-hop sensation Portable has found inspiration in the latest viral social media trend “The Chosen” and has announced a new EP titled The Chosen. Known for his ability to stay in the public eye with his unconventional antics and music, Portable has continued to ride the wave of internet fame with his latest project.
The viral trend “The Chosen” stems from the incredible testimonies of miracles shared by members of the Nigerian Pentecostal Church Chosen Revival Ministries, whose brightly coloured bibs have become a trademark. These testimonies, often dramatic and intense, have taken social media by storm, leading content creators to parody and exaggerate them in comedic videos.
Portable has now jumped on this trend by releasing an EP that soundtracks the viral phenomenon. In the cover art for ‘The Chosen‘, he wears the signature bib of the Chosen Church, reflecting his ability to align his music with popular culture and viral moments.
This is part of his pattern of releasing tracks that capture trending stories, such as his 2023 single I Am Not A Prisoner, which followed his brief time in jail for assaulting police officers, and his 2024 tracks Brotherhood and Spiderman, inspired by disputes and legal troubles.
Portable’s ability to adapt and draw inspiration from viral trends continues to solidify his position as a news-making artist and internet sensation.
