Portable says any act chasing a Grammy should feature him first, and he also ties that boast to boxing.
Portable said on Rubbin’ Minds on Sunday, July 19, 2026, that any Nigerian artiste seeking a Grammy nod must feature him first, while calling himself the “new-born Fela.” He also linked his fame to celebrity boxing, where he said he has earned more than N100 million.
Portable has doubled down on his big talk. On Sunday, July 19, 2026, he told Rubbin’ Minds viewers that any artiste chasing a Grammy should feature him first.
He described himself as the “new-born Fela” and tied the claim to his reach. He also said celebrity boxing has brought him more than N100 million.
Boxing keeps his name loud
The boast also lands beside Portable’s latest boxing headlines. On Monday, July 20, 2026, Vanguard reported that he challenged Terry G to a fight.
He also said he prefers fellow entertainers over social media critics. That keeps boxing at the centre of his brand.
The Fela comparison matters
His “new-born Fela” line also carries more weight now. On February 1, 2026, Fela Kuti became the first African artist to receive a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
That backdrop explains why Portable keeps reaching for the Grammy angle. It also keeps him in the middle of the Afrobeats talk.
