Nigerian singer and performer, Portable, has once again sparked conversation online after opening up about his fashion spending, revealing that he invests significantly more in clothing than globally recognized music superstar Wizkid. The singer, known for his flamboyant style and outspoken personality, offered fans a rare glimpse into the effort and resources he dedicates to maintaining his wardrobe and personal image.
In a candid and detailed statement, Portable said, “Wizkid only wears singlets. I spend more on clothes than he does. I use money to buy clothes, complete sets of clothes. I’m a fashion stylist. I’m a tailor. That’s my handwork. I buy clothes in London, Canada, America, but Wizkid wears only singlet. The singlet might be expensive, I don’t know, but I wear clothes more than him. Up and down. Brands used me as a model. As I dey buy them, they give.” His comments underline his pride in personal style and the effort he puts into dressing well, distinguishing himself as both a performer and a fashion-conscious individual.

The singer’s revelation immediately generated buzz across social media platforms, with fans and followers actively weighing in on the comparison between the two entertainers. Some applauded Portable for his dedication to fashion and self-expression, while others questioned the relevance of comparing wardrobe investments as a measure of status or success in the music industry.
Portable further emphasized that his fashion choices are a combination of personal style, professional involvement as a stylist, and collaborations with international brands. He described traveling to fashion hubs like London, Canada, and the United States to select his clothing and build curated looks, noting that he sometimes acts as a model for brands as part of these engagements.
