Musician Portable responded to ChiefPriest by saying When you go meet President Tinubu, you no tell am make e release Nnamdi Kanu? You just dey fight for your belle, dey hustle contract and secure your pocket.
Portable fired in pidgin. You collect money chop, snap picture, come dey form activist now. Who tell you say Tinubu no go win 2027? You no fit get power pass government – after God na government!”
Portable dismissed Cubana’s threat that Tinubu won’t get up to 10,000 votes in the South-East if Kanu remains jailed, insisting votes will still flow once money exchanges hands during elections.
He also took digs at Cubana’s recent access to the Villa, claiming the socialite only cared about personal gains. The outburst comes 24 hours after Cubana Chief Priest’s lengthy Instagram post declaring Kanu the “Supreme Leader of the South-East” and warning that his continued detention would cost Tinubu the entire region in 2027.
Cubana had called South-East governors and ministers “bags of deceit” afraid to speak truth to power.Portable’s clapback has divided opinions online: some praise him for exposing fake activism while others slam him for defending the government and trivialising the Kanu saga.
The Zazu crooner, never one to shy from controversy, doubled down in the comment section: “Odogu Igbo man, your brother dey prison, you dey chop life.
As reactions pour in, the exchange highlights deepening celebrity involvement in the Kanu controversy, with political stakes rising ahead of 2027. Cubana Chief Priest is yet to respond, but social media is already calling it the latest round of celebrity vawulence.
