Nigerian singer Portable has sparked fresh debate in the music industry after questioning why superstar artistes Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy and Olamide seldom praise God in their tracks.
In a recent video clip that went viral on Tuesday, Portable shared his observations about the content of their music.
“I noticed that Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy and Olamide don’t praise God in their song. They only sing about ladies. Their songs have no motivation,” he said.
Portable suggested the top stars may have achieved success and no longer feel the need to acknowledge divine blessings. He wondered if they believe they “can’t fall” anymore.
The street-hop artiste contrasted this with what he sees as more spiritually motivated music. His comments quickly spread across social media platforms.
Reactions have been mixed. Some users defended the big four, citing songs with themes of gratitude and resilience. Others engaged in light-hearted banter about Portable’s own discography.
Portable has a history of outspoken views on the industry. Earlier this year, he accused some of these same artistes of blocking opportunities for emerging talents.
Industry observers note that Nigerian Afrobeats often blends themes of love, success, street life and occasional spiritual references. No official responses from Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy or Olamide have surfaced yet.
The remarks have reignited discussions on lyrical content, artist responsibility and the balance between commercial appeal and spiritual messaging in Nigerian music. Fans continue to weigh in on social platforms.
