Nigerian street-pop star Portable and outspoken online activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) have set social media ablaze with fiery diss tracks aimed at each other, igniting a new celebrity feud that has gripped the country’s entertainment scene.
The drama began after Portable, known for his brash style and viral antics, released a track titled “Werey On Code,” targeting VDM’s credibility and mocking his past controversies. In his trademark energetic delivery, Portable accused the activist of being insincere and overly self-righteous.
VeryDarkMan, never one to shy away from confrontation, fired back with “Truth Serum,” a response track that takes direct aim at Portable’s chaotic persona. The social commentator called out the singer’s inconsistencies and challenged his street credibility with sharp lyrical jabs.
The musical crossfire has triggered a frenzy online, with hashtags like #PortableVsVDM and #DissTrackWar dominating X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok trends. Fans have taken sides, turning the feud into a viral spectacle filled with memes, breakdowns, and speculation.
While the roots of the beef remain unclear, industry watchers say it reflects a broader shift in Nigeria’s pop culture, where online spats are increasingly resolved—or amplified—through music.
Whether this clash fizzles out or fuels further lyrical warfare, one thing is clear: Portable and VeryDarkMan have once again shown their mastery of digital relevance—one diss track at a time.
