Portable, the fast-rising Nigerian singer, has called out Burna Boy for using his picture to promote his album.

Last month, the ‘African Giant’ crooner shared an artwork showing Portable dressed like a typical cleric.

Burna Boy had said “deep down”, he would love to have the artwork — which appeared to be a photoshopped picture of Portable — as the cover for ‘Love Damini’, his much-awaited album.

In an Instagram post on Wednesday, the ‘Zazoo Zeh’ crooner said he would not tolerate alleged attempts by Burna Boy to “rip me of my content”.

Buttressing his point, Portable shared a viral video showing Burna Boy repeating lines mostly used by him without crediting him.

The musician claimed the popular lines used by Burna Boy was his intellectual property.

He also called on the ‘Ye’ singer to collaborate with him for a project if he likes his music and lifestyle.
