For the Nigerian street pop artist,  Portable, working together with Skepta is a major turning point since it’s his first international partnership. The two musicians first collaborated at the British Fashion Awards (BFA), where Portable was spotted with Skepta and his entourage.

Portable looked great in the viral video from the event, strutting the red carpet with confidence and showing off his sense of style in a two-piece jacket outfit and matching sneakers. With artists like Skepta embracing and working with performers from the Nigerian music scene, Portable’s growing international prominence underscores the growing attractiveness of Nigerian music globally.

Fans of Tony Montana are excitedly awaiting more partnerships and accomplishments from the gifted pair as they continue to enjoy success on a national and worldwide level.
