Street-hop sensation Portable has once again proven his knack for seizing the moment as he announces a new EP, Ogo Most Wanted, right in the middle of his ongoing legal troubles.
Known for turning controversy into content, the singer is using his latest run-in with the Ogun State Police as inspiration for his music. His ability to blend real-life experiences with his sound has been a defining feature of his career, and this time is no different.
Portable has taken to Instagram to share the news of his upcoming project, further fueling the already buzzing conversations surrounding his name.
The timing of this announcement is anything but random. The Ogun State Police recently declared Portable wanted for allegedly assaulting government officials, adding to his long list of legal troubles.
Rather than shy away from the spotlight, the singer has chosen to channel the situation into his music, ensuring that his name stays relevant in both entertainment and news circles.
This move comes as no surprise to fans and industry observers who have watched him turn every controversy into an opportunity for new music.
Portable’s ability to use trending moments to his advantage has been evident since his breakthrough in 2021 with Zazzu Zeh, a street anthem that featured Olamide.
From that moment on, he has consistently woven viral events into his artistry, capitalizing on public interest to maintain his place in the limelight.
Whether it’s personal drama or industry feuds, Portable has mastered the art of making music out of every situation, a strategy that has kept him relevant in the competitive Nigerian music scene.
A recent example of this approach is his diss track aimed at Grammy-nominated artist Asake, whom he mocked for failing to secure an award at the 67th Grammys.
The song came at a time when social media was buzzing with discussions about Nigerian artists missing out on wins, and Portable wasted no time inserting himself into the conversation.
This pattern of reactionary music has defined his brand, making him one of the most unpredictable figures in the industry.
In 2024, he took advantage of the viral “I Am A Chosen” trend to release his Chosen EP, riding the wave of the online sensation to promote his music.
Shortly after, he dropped the track Spiderman, inspired by a widely shared video of him scaling a fence to evade arrest over an unpaid debt on his G Wagon Brabus.
By consistently linking his music to viral moments, Portable has ensured that his songs resonate beyond just the music space—they become part of pop culture discourse.
His biggest single since Zazzu Zeh came through an international collaboration with British-Nigerian rapper Skepta, who featured him on the hit track Tony Montana.
This song further expanded his reach beyond Nigeria and reinforced his growing reputation in the global music scene. To mark his time in the UK, Portable released the Tony Montana of London EP, solidifying his presence in the international market.
Similarly, after a successful tour in Canada, he dropped the Canadian Burger EP in 2025, proving that his music is not just about controversy but also about strategic positioning.
Now, with Ogo Most Wanted, Portable appears to be sticking to his tried-and-tested formula of turning his legal battles into music.
Having recently been granted bail after voluntarily reporting himself to the police, he promised to steer clear of further trouble. However, fans remain skeptical, given his history of controversy.
Whether this marks a turning point in his career or just another chapter in his headline-grabbing antics, one thing is certain—Portable knows how to keep people talking.
