Nigerian street music sensation, Portable, has once again set social media ablaze with his latest move that has fans and critics alike talking. The controversial artist has borrowed a viral statement from the legendary Fuji musician, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (K1), and infused it into the composition of his new song, sending fans into a frenzy.
The statement in question, “Alfa, o ni gba, o ni gba” (loosely translated to “Alfa, you will not succeed”), which K1 famously used in a social media post a while ago, has taken on a life of its own within the Nigerian music scene. Portable, known for his boldness and unorthodox approach to music, has cleverly incorporated the phrase into the lyrics of his upcoming single.
In his usual inimitable style, Portable shared snippets of the track on his social media platforms, leaving fans eagerly awaiting its full release. The phrase, originally a playful jab from K1 directed at an unnamed rival, seems to have found new life in Portable’s song, with the singer adding his own flair to the statement while keeping the fiery energy that fans have come to expect from him.
Social media has been buzzing since the release of the teaser, with many fans praising Portable for his creativity and ability to keep up with viral trends. Some have even speculated that the move might spark a collaboration between the two music giants, although both artists have yet to confirm any such plans.
“Portable always knows how to stay in the conversation,” one user tweeted. “First it was the whole street vibe, now he’s bringing K1’s words to life in a new song! I’m here for it.”
Others have pointed out that Portable’s embrace of K1’s viral statement shows a growing bond between Nigeria’s Fuji and street music scenes, blending two distinct genres in a way that resonates with the masses.
As anticipation builds for the official release of the song, fans are waiting to see if Portable’s latest track will top the charts and solidify his place as one of the most unpredictable forces in Nigerian music today.
For now, one thing is clear—Portable’s fusion of viral culture and music is a strategy that continues to win him both attention and accolades. Whether it’s through his unique lyrics or his fearless engagement with pop culture moments, the artist seems poised to make waves once again.
