An Unexpected Alliance: Portable and Shallipopi.
In a surprising turn of events, controversial street-pop singer Portable has displayed a newfound affection for his colleague Shallipopi, just months after publicly disparaging him. A recent video captured the two artists sharing a warm embrace and exchanging pleasantries at the French embassy, a moment that caught many off guard.
Previously, Portable had not shied away from vocalizing his grievances towards Shallipopi, accusing him of manipulating the system by purchasing streams to ascend the Naija Apple Music Chart—a claim he asserted was responsible for Shallipopi dethroning his own track, “Tony Montana.” Such accusations painted a picture of rivalry and hostility between the two artists.
However, in an apparent shift in sentiment, Portable has embraced Shallipopi, expressing his admiration for both the artist and his music. This newfound camaraderie raises questions regarding the motivations behind Portable’s previous criticisms and his recent overtures of support.
As fans digest this surprising development, it seems the animosity that once characterized the relationship between these two artists has been set aside, paving the way for a more collaborative future. The reconciliation may signal a broader acceptance within the music community, where rivalries often overshadow collaborative opportunities.
Such dynamic shifts in relationships among artists are a reminder of the complexities inherent in the music industry. As audiences continue to monitor this evolving narrative, one can only speculate on the impact this friendship—or alliance—may have on their respective careers moving forward.

Nigerian singer Naira Marley’s family life has become a topic of public interest after Instagram model and TikToker Sandra Benede publicly acknowledged being the mother of his twin daughters, Aishat and Simiat Fashola.
The admission occurred during a recent livestream with streamer Peller, who initiated the conversation regarding the children. While Ms. Benede confirmed her parentage, she clarified that she and Mr. Marley are not married.
Speculation regarding a potential relationship between the two figures arose in May 2022 following a birthday greeting from Ms. Benede to Mr. Marley. The recent confirmation now sheds further light on their connection and the children’s parentage.
Nollywood actress Mary Njoku has recently ignited a debate regarding the necessity of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination for university admissions in Nigeria. In a statement posted on her Instagram story, Njoku questioned the need for JAMB and post-UTME, arguing that the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) should be sufficient proof of a candidate’s completion of secondary education.
Her statement comes amidst recent controversy surrounding JAMB, particularly following widespread reports of mass failures in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME). While JAMB has admitted to errors and announced retakes for affected candidates, Njoku’s questioning highlights a deeper concern regarding the redundancy and potential inefficiencies within the current university admission process. The actress’s comments add fuel to an existing debate about the effectiveness and fairness of the JAMB examination in evaluating a student’s readiness for tertiary education.
