Portable’s new song sparks emotions online amidst hunger protests controversy
Controversial street-pop artist Portable has ignited another wave of discussion with his new song addressing the recent hunger protests in Nigeria.
Known for his unfiltered opinions and bold actions, Portable’s latest track dives into his reasoning for not participating in the protests, a decision that previously led to a significant loss of over 100,000 Instagram followers.
In the song, Portable reveals his intention to pursue a political path rather than joining street protests. He shares his aspiration to contest elections and bring about change from within the political system.
He also emphasizes that Nigeria’s issues are long-standing and not solely attributable to the current administration under President Tinubu, urging people to avoid destructive actions.
The release of this song has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. Some listeners praised Portable for his bold stance and willingness to enter politics, while others criticized him for being disconnected from the everyday struggles of Nigerians.
The artist’s previous refusal to join the hunger protests had already drawn significant backlash, with many accusing him of lacking empathy for the common people.
Portable’s approach continues to polarize opinions, highlighting the complex dynamics between celebrity influence, political engagement, and social activism in Nigeria.
