In a bold move, Portable recently announced unconventional terms for potential collaborators, stating that they must both lick his foot and buy him a car to secure a feature on their song. Additionally, to mark his birthday, the artist received a generous monetary gift from fellow Nigerian artist Ogbe Japhet, also known as Brosthrone. These developments further highlight Portable’s growing influence and distinct presence within the music industry.
The renowned Nigerian fashion label High Fashion has named the 29-year-old singer as its newest brand ambassador. High fashion is renowned for its daring and avant-garde styles. Through this exciting agreement, Portable will represent the brand in future events and advertisements, showcasing his charisma and contagious energy to the world of high fashion.
On social media, Portable posted three pictures and a video that showcased the behind-the-scenes and end product of his collaboration with High Fashion. The popular crooner of Of Lala, Rahman Jago, is the owner of the Nigerian business High Fashion. Given that he launched a fashion company at the beginning of 2024, Portable is not a newcomer to the fashion industry.
