According to Portable, despite living in the trenches, they have impressive lifestyles. He noted that the people lived in good houses in the trenches and had good environments. However, the music star admitted that their roads were very bad and had led to the destruction of some of his cars. He also called on the Ogun state government to fix things.

Not stopping there, the Tony Montana star went on to brag about how he has bought around 20 cars, built 10 mansions, a market, and is even building a hotel.

In his words:

“Does this place look like trenches? It’s the roads that are bad. Make the government help us fix the roads. We only have bad roads, we have good houses, good environment but bad roads. It’s the bad roads that spoil my cars. I’ve bought so many cars, G-Wagon, Range Rover, plenty of cars, about 20 of them, it’s the roads. The governor should fix the roads in Ogun state so I can drive smoothly from Lekki to Abeokuta. I’m building my hotel here, I have about 10 mansions here, both completed and uncompleted, I built a market.”

I don't believe he owns that much - Nigerian man speaks

A Nigerian media expert, Uriri Onojake expressed his doubts about Portable's wealth. In a chat with Legit.ng he said:

"I don't believe that he owns that much. However, given his grass-to-grace story, I think he has done quite well. He's acquired some properties here and there. But just like some before him Portable is going down the make-belief route or what we refer to as fake life. He's exaggerating his affluence and it's intentional. He either wants to get much more from his existing endorsement deals or he's laying down the gauntlet for those about to court him."

Mr Onojake also shared his thoughts on Portable's rise to fame so far:

"Portable's rise to fame has been chaotic. It's been laced with controversies, scandals and what have you. However, it has worked for him. He was given a window of opportunity and he has gone on to use that tiny chance to open the gates. Will it last long? Time will tell but like we've seen in over 2 years, he is not someone you can write off."
