Street hop sensation Portable has expressed his gratitude to UK rapper Skepta after receiving his royalties for their hit collaboration Tony Montana. Released in early 2024, the single became one of Portable’s biggest hits, marking a major milestone in his career as he teamed up with British-Nigerian grime legend Skepta.

Taking to his Instagram story, Portable shared his excitement after receiving his cut of the royalties, previously hinting at the anticipation of his first payment. “God bless you @skepta. Money don enter. Big thanks @sonymusic,” Portable wrote in the post.

In another post, Portable made it clear that Skepta had not shortchanged him. “@skepta Tony Montana money don enter. No ripping zone. Big Smoke, Big Money. I really appreciate you,” he said, acknowledging the fair treatment he received from the rapper.

Skepta, in turn, responded to Portable’s appreciation by sharing a screenshot of the post on his X account, with the caption, “Greed no dey my dictionary,” showing that he is committed to fair dealings in the music industry.

Portable’s gratitude highlights his outspoken nature, especially regarding his past dealings with other artists. Known for speaking his mind, the street-hop star has had his fair share of controversies, including his accusations against other artists for allegedly trying to cheat him out of his due. After his breakout success with Olamide on Zazzu, Portable accused dancer Poco Lee, who helped with the remix, of attempting to rip him off.

Since becoming a household name, Portable has not shied away from calling out people he feels have wronged him, including four-time Grammy nominee Davido, whom he claimed didn’t bless him with a verse.

Portable has already made headlines in 2025, with his recent performance being canceled in Ibadan after he made derogatory remarks about the city, prompting concerns for his safety. Despite the controversies, Portable continues to stay in the news, keeping fans and critics alike on their toes.
