Inside the Ongoing Beef Between VeryDarkMan and Portable
The Nigerian internet space is never short of drama, and lately, one of the most talked-about feuds is between social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) and controversial street-pop artist Portable. Their ongoing clash has taken center stage across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter), drawing reactions from fans and celebrities alike.
How It All Started
The tension began when VeryDarkMan took a jab at Portable in one of his viral rants. Known for calling out public figures, VDM accused Portable of promoting a chaotic lifestyle, citing his frequent run-ins with the police and erratic public behavior. He went as far as calling the singer “uncultured” and a poor role model for Nigerian youth.
For Portable, who is no stranger to controversy, the comments didn’t sit well. He quickly fired back in a series of heated Instagram videos, accusing VDM of chasing clout. He claimed that VDM was using his name to gain relevance and warned him to stay out of his business.
The Back-and-Forth Escalates
Since that initial exchange, the two have continued to trade insults online. VDM has doubled down on his criticism, saying Portable is a product of a failed system and needs rehabilitation, not fame. Portable, on the other hand, has kept up his verbal attacks, often responding with unfiltered rants laced with threats and accusations.
At one point, Portable suggested that VDM was a hypocrite, claiming he selectively calls out celebrities for attention. VDM responded by mocking Portable’s lifestyle again, insisting that his public outbursts only prove his point.

Fan Reactions and Public Interest
The feud has divided opinions. Some fans see it as typical online banter between two eccentric personalities. Others believe there are serious undertones, especially in how both figures represent larger issues within Nigerian pop culture — from the rise of internet activism to the glorification of toxic celebrity behavior.
While some celebrities have subtly commented on the situation, most are staying out of it, likely to avoid becoming VDM’s next target or getting dragged into Portable’s chaotic orbit.
What’s Next?
At the moment, there’s no sign of reconciliation. Both men are known for doubling down rather than backing down, and with their strong online followings, the drama shows no signs of slowing.
Whether this feud fizzles out or escalates further, one thing is certain: in the ever-dramatic world of Nigerian pop culture, the VDM-Portable saga is another wild chapter in an already chaotic narrative.
Stay tuned — because with these two, anything can happen next.
