British rapper Joseph Olaitan Adenuga jr, better known as Skepta has revealed why he didn’t renege on his promise to controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable.

In March 2024, after the duo had a collaborative hit song, Tony Montana, Skepta who has a net worth exceeding $20 million promised to give Portable all the earning of their song. The British rapper also covered all expenses on the song including the audio and video production.

Hours ago, the controversial street singer disclosed that Skepta has given him royalties for his contribution on their collaborative hit, ‘Tony Montana.’

He appreciated the Grime star for not defrauding him.

On Instagram, Portable wrote:

“Tony Montana money don enter. No ripping zone. Big Smoke. Big Money. I really appreciate you.”

Reacting via X, Skepta revealed that he honoured the agreement because he isn’t greedy.

Sharing screenshot of Portable’s post, he wrote:

“‘Greed’ no dey my Dictionary #TonyMontana.”

Upon its release Tony Montana topped charts on Apple Music naija and in the UK.

Produced by acclaimed British-Ghanaian record producer Jae5, Tony Montana on its inaugural day of tracking on the Spotify Top Songs Daily chart, which occurred on Friday, March 1, 2024, garnered a remarkable 193,000 streams, reinforcing its position as a chart-topping sensation.

This achievement holds special significance as it signifies the first instance of Portable, Skepta, and Jae5 jointly reaching the number one spot on the chart, highlighting the enormity of their success.

In another news, Phyna breaks silence after Chi Chi accused her of undergoing butt surgery.

Recall that Phyna and Chi Chi went head-to-head a few days back with the latter accusing the former of acquiring a new pair of derriere that didn’t come out nice.

In a recent development, Phyna shared some alluring photos of herself in the same outfit she donned that stirred Chi Chi’s attack.

The reality star urged her haters to take another look at her as she respectfully doesn’t care.

Exuding beauty, Phyna added that she is as cold as ice and as hot as Lava.

In her words:

“Always keeping it together as my thoughts become words, I can be as cold as ice and as hot as Lava.

Take another look at me now.

I respectfully don’t care.”

Chi Chi and Phyna’s feud have been on for quite a while.  Chi Chi had a few weeks ago slammed Phyna with an N100 million lawsuit for defamation of character.

This was prompted by Phyna’s series of allegations against ChiChi during the BBNaija Reunion show.

The former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate, Kassia Sule, has revealed that she was not ready for marriage when Kellyrae proposed.

The lovebirds got married in February 2024 after dating for 10 years.

Fast forward to October 2024, Kellyrae became the first married man to win the BBNaija show. The reality star took home the grand prize of N100 million.

In an interview on WithChude, Kassia said she had been eager to marry Kellyrae for a long time, but her mindset changed in 2023.

The reality star said she realised that marriage no longer felt like fulfillment so she focused on self-improvement. Kassia said despite her uncertainty, she accepted Kellyrae’s proposal and hasn’t had any regrets.

In her words:

“I have been waiting forever to get married to him, but he delayed, so it happened in 2024. I wasn’t surprised when he proposed but at the time he did, I wasn’t ready for marriage.

“First, I was ready, but by the time he did, I was not. Three years before he proposed, I was ready for marriage; I do not know if it was because of the pressure I was getting from my family, but in 2023, everything changed.

“At that time, I knew it was not about marriage; it was not a fulfillment. My perspective changed so I thought to be a better person before getting into marriage.

“So, when he proposed, I accepted, but in my mind, I was not sure I was ready. I was happy but confused. I told my best friend, and she encouraged me. We got married, and it has been amazing since then.”
