“Uncle Burna, I Have More Hits Than You” – Portable Claims He Has More Hits Than Burna Boy
Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, widely recognized as Portable, recently started conversations online with a bold claim: he believes he has more hit songs than his Grammy-winning colleague, Burna Boy.
The self-proclaimed “Zazu” star confidently expressed his view in a circulating video, asserting his place as a stronger hitmaker in the Nigerian music scene.
In the video, Portable said he wasn’t merely bragging but genuinely felt he had an edge in hit songs over Burna Boy, whose real name is Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu.
Portable mentioned tracks like his single “Tony Montana” as examples of his success, directly challenging Burna Boy’s standing in the industry.
“Uncle Burna, I have more hits than you,” he stated, underscoring his claim with his signature blend of humor and confidence.
Burna Boy, an internationally recognized artist with Grammy and BET Awards under his belt, has established a global presence in recent years, known for major hits like “Ye,” “Last Last,” and “On the Low.”
His albums have received wide acclaim and have cemented him as one of Nigeria’s biggest music exports.
Despite Burna Boy’s achievements, Portable, known for his raw, street-style music and unique personality, feels that his consistent releases resonate just as strongly within Nigeria and claims his music holds its own among fans.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
