Portable Unveils New Look, Declares Himself “Mr Nigeria” and “Ika of Africa”
THECONSCIENCE NG reports that the controversial Nigerian street-pop star Portable has once again stirred up social media conversation with the unveiling of his latest makeover. Known for his eccentric persona and unapologetic street credibility, the singer shared striking new photos on Instagram, dressed in a bold green-and-white ensemble – colours widely recognised as symbols of the Nigerian spirit.
Never one to shy away from drama, Portable paired his new look with a string of self-bestowed titles. In his post, he described himself as “Mr Nigeria, Tony Montana of London, Ika of Africa, Emergency Musician, and Awolumate of America.” The Zazuu Zeh crooner further flaunted his international recognition, boasting of holding ten separate 10-year Canadian visas, while stressing that music remains his central pursuit.
“Call me Mr Nigeria, Agbara God Power, IKA of Africa, Emergency Musician, Tony Montana of London, Awolumate of America. I got ten 10-year Canadian visas. I do music for a living. Zazuu Zeh, Canadian,” he wrote.
This flamboyant declaration follows closely on the heels of his recent criticism of the Big Brother Naija organisers, whom he accused of overlooking him. Portable insisted the reality show would have been more entertaining had he been invited, claiming he is not only a street king and superstar but also a fashion designer and stylist capable of transforming any stage.
With a reputation built on controversy, unpredictability and unfiltered commentary, Portable has carved out a niche as one of Nigeria’s most talked-about entertainers. From his viral tracks to his brash social media outbursts and unconventional style choices, he continues to generate buzz and divide opinion.
His latest reinvention as “Ika of Africa” only reinforces his penchant for theatrics and shock value, leaving fans and critics alike curious about what bold move he might unveil next.
