Portable Calls Out BBNaija for Snubbing Him, Claims He Has Bigger Fans and Would Have Enhanced the Show’s Appeal [VIDEO]

 

Controversial Nigerian musician Portable has stirred reactions on social media after voicing his displeasure with the organizers of the Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) show. The singer, known for his bold personality and unapologetic stance, took to his platform to express frustration at not being invited to participate in the ongoing season of the popular reality show.

The "Zazoo" crooner, who has gained massive popularity both locally and internationally, made it clear that he believes his presence would have been an added value to the BBNaija house. In a video posted on his social media accounts, Portable addressed the organizers directly, hinting that the show’s current housemates do not match his level of influence and energy.

“I don go America, I don go London, I have fans. Invite me Big Brother. All the people you dey invite they no tackle me. Come and live the life I’m living,” he stated with a mix of sarcasm and frustration. His candid remark struck a chord with many fans and critics, sparking conversations online about his exclusion from the show.

Portable’s brash approach to the entertainment scene has made him one of the most talked-about celebrities in Nigeria. Whether it is his musical talent, outspoken nature, or tendency to court controversy, the musician never seems to go unnoticed. However, his statement regarding BBNaija revealed a deeper layer of dissatisfaction, one that many believe speaks to a sense of entitlement and desire for recognition on the biggest stage.

Fans Weigh In: Reactions Roll In

Portable’s bold statement has sparked a flurry of mixed reactions from fans and fellow social media users. Some see his outburst as a typical display of the artist's larger-than-life personality, while others suggest that he may have a point.

One user, @kamo_state, chimed in, saying: "Portable no go like IMISI keh 😂😂😂😂," a humorous reference to the idea that his behavior could be a lot for the BBNaija house to handle. Meanwhile, @Mohammed_Gombi agreed with Portable’s stance, commenting, "Him no lie, the house will be more fun 😅." There seems to be a consensus among some fans that Portable's fiery and unpredictable nature could have made for a more entertaining season.

Others, like @i_am_olamide1, were particularly intrigued by the prospect of having Portable as part of the house and jokingly suggested that he could at least make an appearance. "Make big brother allow am go visit them, I wan see something abeg 😂🙏," he wrote. The playful tone of the comment echoes the general excitement fans feel at the thought of Portable’s unpredictability bringing chaos to the house.

The idea that Portable would spill secrets and stir up drama was another point of discussion. @LarxEze humorously pointed out that if Portable were to enter the BBNaija house, there would be no holding back. "Lol… if e go there… he go talk all big brother secrets… 😂🤣," the user said. His reputation for speaking his mind, even when it’s controversial, further cemented the notion that his presence would be anything but dull.

Lastly, @Izzie_Lee334 commented on Portable’s characteristic confidence, saying, "I was actually waiting for him comments regarding the show 😂😂😂 Egbon mi no deyy fall hand 👌." The remark reflects the admiration and respect some fans have for Portable’s unfiltered commentary.

Is Portable’s Exclusion a Missed Opportunity for BBNaija?

BBNaija has long been a platform that seeks to blend entertainment with drama, offering viewers a mix of suspense, rivalry, romance, and personal transformation. However, the absence of a personality as unpredictable as Portable has left some wondering whether the show missed a trick by not including him this season.

There is little doubt that Portable’s presence would have added a layer of intrigue. His unconventional approach to fame, marked by explosive public statements, dramatic encounters, and an affinity for stirring controversy, would have undoubtedly caused a stir among the housemates and fans alike. With his international fanbase and wide social media following, it’s possible that his participation would have drawn even more eyes to the show, increasing viewership and social media engagement.

However, there are also questions about how Portable’s wild nature would have blended with the BBNaija format. The housemates are often selected with the goal of striking a balance between personalities, making sure that the interactions are diverse yet cohesive enough for a smooth viewing experience. It’s possible that Portable’s larger-than-life persona could have overshadowed the more measured personalities, creating an imbalance.

Nonetheless, BBNaija has always had a knack for selecting housemates who generate buzz, and Portable’s exclusion from the show could be interpreted as part of the organizers’ strategy. It is possible that they chose to avoid any potential disruptions or conflicts that could arise from having a figure like him involved.

Despite the snub from BBNaija organizers, Portable’s star continues to shine brightly in the entertainment world. His outburst may have been a reflection of his disappointment, but it also served to remind everyone of his unique appeal. His unapologetic attitude and fierce individuality are qualities that have garnered him a loyal fanbase, and regardless of the BBNaija drama, it’s clear that Portable is determined to maintain his position as one of Nigeria’s most talked-about musicians.

Whether or not he ever makes an appearance on BBNaija remains to be seen. However, for now, the musician’s spotlight is far from dimmed, as he continues to dominate the conversation with every statement and move he makes.
