The conflict between the two has escalated after Portable criticized VDM for his negative views on President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Since then, they have been embroiled in a heated online battle, trading insults and releasing diss tracks on various social media platforms.

In a widely circulated video, Portable deemed the N100 million offer insufficient, claiming he regularly earns that amount from his fans and supporters.

Portable stated, “That ₦100m, my fans give it to me. ₦100m is small for me to fight VDM. Let them give me one billion, I will fight him and beat him,” he said.

“If anybody can drop ₦1bn, I will fight him. Someone you can’t hold, you are now asking me to fight and beat him.

“You are scared of him, you can’t jail him.”
