Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has stirred widespread reactions on social media after calling out comedian and content creator Carter Efe during a recent livestream.
During the broadcast, Portable mocked Carter Efe’s slim appearance, suggesting that the comedian looked “hungry” and was no longer living comfortably despite enjoying significant online attention in the past.
Portable Questions Carter Efe’s Success
In the livestream, Portable compared Carter Efe to his associate, Kolu, whom he claimed recently purchased a Honda car. The singer questioned what Carter Efe had achieved, despite previously attracting high-profile attention, including a livestream appearance with Davido.
“Carter Efe, you look very hungry and lean. You no dey chop better food. Even my boy Kolu don buy Honda. What did you buy after Davido come your livestream?” Portable said.
References to Carter Efe’s Past Success
Portable went further to contrast Carter Efe’s current appearance with his 2023 phase, when the comedian was visibly heavier and more active in the entertainment space. According to the singer, Carter Efe appeared to be doing better financially and professionally during that period.
He also warned about the temporary nature of internet trends, suggesting that viral fame does not guarantee long-term success.
“Your 2023 videos, you big then. You were living big when comedy dey work for you. Trend fit blow one person, e fit spoil another. Your 2026 worse pass your 2023,” Portable added.
Social Media Reacts
The comments quickly went viral, triggering mixed reactions from fans and social media users. While some found the exchange humorous, others accused Portable of constantly seeking attention through online confrontations.
Several users described the incident as unnecessary mockery, while others saw it as part of the ongoing rivalry and banter common within Nigeria’s entertainment scene.
Ongoing Online Buzz
