News: Portable Takes a Dig at Vector, Claiming He's More Famous

Nigerian musician Portable has stirred up a significant controversy on social media by boldly claiming that he is more famous than rapper Vector. During a live chat on Instagram, Portable confidently asserted his dominance in terms of popularity, especially among the “streets,” and challenged Vector’s ability to garner the same level of fan support.

This declaration follows the release of a recent song by Vector, which includes the line “Lion King no Zazuu.” Some fans have interpreted this line as a subtle jab at Portable, whose breakout hit song is titled “Zazuu Zeh.” The perceived diss did not sit well with Portable, prompting his outspoken response.

Portable’s assertion has ignited a heated debate online, with many social media users flocking to the comments section to express their opinions. While some fans support Portable’s claim, arguing that his grassroots appeal and viral hits have indeed made him a household name, others firmly disagree, contending that Vector’s longstanding career and contributions to Nigerian rap far outweigh Portable’s recent surge in fame.

The clash of opinions highlights the ongoing rivalry and contrasting fan bases between the two artists. Portable’s audacious statement has certainly captured the attention of the public, fueling discussions about the dynamics of fame and influence within the Nigerian music industry. As the debate continues, it remains to be seen whether either artist will further address the issue or if their fans will reach a consensus on the matter.

abiola_olayajo commented:

"Portable should stop because Vector wasn’t referring to him at all. Zazu is the name of a bird in Lion King, I think. Even this blogger is mistaken; that's DJ Magnum's picture, Vector’s brother."

big7record criticized:

"Insulting Vector just to feel important and get media hype is wrong. When Vector was winning awards, who even knew Portable?"

huzanamusic slammed:

"Look at this insignificant person insulting a legendary and award-winning lyricist for clout. And such a small person at that."

kesterrozay remarked:

"Even if you have money, education is important. Vector was referencing Zazu the bird in Lion King, not Portable. This one just picked a fight with someone for no reason. Vector is not someone to mess with."
