Portable has once again stirred public debate with the release of a new song dedicated to Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage. The track, which has quickly gained attention, features explicit lyrics in which Portable expresses his desire for a collaboration with the singer, repeatedly singing, “I want to collabo Tiwa.” The song’s suggestive tone has sparked a wide range of reactions from fans and critics alike.
Portable’s latest track comes as a stark contrast to his previous comments about Tiwa Savage. Just months ago, the singer openly criticized Savage for sharing semi-nude photos on social media, questioning the appropriateness of such actions for a 44-year-old woman. He had called out the singer’s display, claiming it was unbefitting for someone of her age and stature. However, in a twist, his new song seems to contradict these earlier statements, leading to confusion and criticism from both his supporters and detractors.
The juxtaposition between Portable’s past criticism and his current lyrical content has raised eyebrows on social media, with many questioning his intentions. “How can he condemn her actions one moment and then profess such desire for her the next?” one Twitter user remarked. “It’s like he’s playing both sides of the game for attention,” another comment read, reflecting the confusion surrounding the situation.
Despite the backlash, Portable’s fans have defended the song, arguing that it is simply a form of expression typical of the street music genre. “Portable is an artist, and his songs are a reflection of his thoughts and creativity. People shouldn’t take everything too literally,” one supporter argued. Others, however, have criticized him for using the song as a means of exploiting Tiwa Savage’s name for publicity.
Tiwa Savage, who has long been a trailblazer in the Afrobeats genre, has not publicly commented on Portable’s latest release. The singer has often been at the center of public scrutiny, particularly regarding her image and how she is perceived in the entertainment industry. Whether or not she will address the song remains to be seen, but her silence so far has added fuel to the ongoing conversation.
