Portable Releases New Song for Tiwa Savage

Nigerian music sensation Portable has set social media ablaze with a new song dedicated to fellow artist Tiwa Savage, just days after making controversial remarks about her choice of clothing.

The issue began during a TikTok live session on November 8, 2024, where Portable reacted to a viral photo of Tiwa Savage wearing only a pair of pants and a crop top. The 44-year-old artist’s outfit sparked debate online, and Portable weighed in with his unfiltered opinion. He stated:

“Everyone should please warn Tiwa Savage to stop wearing panties alone while snapping pictures if not, it’s only young boys that will be asking her out. She is over 40 years and I have been listening to her songs since I was little. She is tempting me too but I am trying to take my eyes off. How can mummy be wearing pant; it’s entering my eyes, I will sleep with her.”

The statement quickly went viral.

Days after his remarks, Portable released a new track explicitly referencing Tiwa Savage. The lyrics included repetitive lines such as:

“I want to collabo Tiwa,”

which many listeners interpreted as a provocative expression of romantic interest. This bold move has not only fueled the existing issue but has also drawn clash from fans who consider the song a blatant show of disrespect.

Fans and critics alike have taken to social media to voice their thoughts:

• “See big disrespect for Tiwa; imagine going to the studio to sing you want to knack Tiwa.”
• “You no come get sense again, bro.”
• “Na rubbish you dey sing; must you diss? You no get better song?”

Some fans had dismissed the song as a publicity stunt, while others expressed disappointment in Portable’s behavior, arguing that it reflects poorly on his artistry and undermines the respect owed to established figures like Tiwa Savage.
