Nigerian street-hop sensation Portable has once again thrown the internet into chaos, this time taking direct aim at Nollywood heavyweights Tonto Dikeh and Iyabo Ojo in a no-holds-barred diss track. The dramatic development comes shortly after social media activist Verydarkman, popularly known as VDM, revealed screenshots from an alleged WhatsApp group involving some of Nigeria’s most influential entertainment figures. According to VDM, the group was reportedly used to control the public narrative surrounding the controversial death of singer Mohbad.
The leak instantly ignited online fury, with fans divided over the intentions of the group and the roles certain celebrities allegedly played behind the scenes. While many are still trying to process the screenshots, Portable wasted no time addressing the drama in the way he knows bestthrough music. His newly released track, simply titled Group Chat, is already gaining attention for its fiery lyrics and unfiltered accusations.
In the song, Portable calls out Tonto Dikeh and Iyabo Ojo, questioning their involvement in the secretive WhatsApp group and accusing them of using public tragedies for personal clout. He also shades other supposed members of the group, indirectly dragging names linked to Davido's camp and fellow music industry players. Portable is clearly furious at being associated with the group and uses the song to distance himself entirely, making it clear he wants nothing to do with the elite circles of influence controlling the narrative online.
Not stopping there, Portable also goes for the jugular, mocking VDM’s fan base, who call themselves the Ratel, and daring the activist to bring more receipts. It is a bold and risky move, considering the level of online attention VDM commands. But if Portable has shown anything over time, it is his complete disregard for political correctness or social media pressure. In fact, he seems to thrive in the chaos.
This is not the first time Portable and Verydarkman have clashed publicly. Their feud began earlier this year when Portable dropped a controversial single titled Oromadiye Adodi, which VDM responded to with his own counter track Ole. The back-and-forth between both personalities has since escalated beyond music, with online jabs, Instagram rants, and now full-on diss wars pulling in other public figures who might have preferred to stay out of the fight.
Reactions to the new track have been mixed. While some fans applaud Portable for standing up to the so-called industry cabal, others believe he is using the situation for attention. Social media platforms are buzzing, with some calling the song a “street anthem of rebellion,” while critics label it a reckless stunt. However, even critics can’t deny that Portable’s raw energy and fearless approach continue to make him one of the most unpredictable figures in Nigerian entertainment.
What makes this particular diss track different is how deeply it ties into ongoing conversations about influence, power, and manipulation within the Nigerian entertainment ecosystem. The alleged WhatsApp group leak from VDM has exposed an underbelly of celebrity control and backdoor politics many fans had long suspected but never had proof of. Now, with Portable taking a firm public stance against it, the drama is unlikely to die down anytime soon.
Whether you love or hate him, Portable’s ability to tap into controversy and turn it into cultural currency is undeniable. As Group Chat circulates online and fans await possible responses from Tonto Dikeh, Iyabo Ojo, or even VDM himself, one thing is clear: the saga is far from over. And in the world of Nigerian pop culture, where chaos and fame often go hand in hand, Portable has once again positioned himself right at the center of it all.
