VeryDarkMan Fires Up Feud with Portable in Diss Track ‘Ole’ Over Keke Napep Theft Claims
The ongoing clash between controversial social media critic VeryDarkMan (VDM) and Nigerian street-hop artist Portable reached new heights on July 23, 2025, with VDM dropping a fiery diss track titled “Ole” (meaning “thief” in Yoruba).
The track takes direct aim at Portable, accusing him of stealing a Keke Napep (tricycle) in a 2020 incident where the singer was allegedly apprehended and beaten.
The release has set social media ablaze, with fans divided over VDM’s bold move and eagerly awaiting Portable’s response.
A Heated Rivalry Fueled by Allegations
The feud kicked off when VDM criticized President Bola Tinubu over Nigeria’s economic hardships and insecurity, prompting Portable to defend the president in an Instagram video.
Portable claimed VDM’s newfound “luxury lifestyle” coincided with Tinubu’s administration, urging him to stop dragging the government. In retaliation, VDM leaked a 2020 video allegedly showing Portable being attacked for stealing a Keke Napep before his rise to fame. The diss track “Ole,” released on platforms like Audiomack and Soundcloud, amplifies this accusation, with VDM chanting, “You tiff phone (Ole). You tiff keke (Ole). Dem beat you (Ole),” mocking Portable’s past and his defense of political figures.
Portable swiftly denied the theft allegations, calling them a misunderstanding. In a snippet of his own diss track shared on Instagram, he fired back, saying, “VeryDarkMan, your mother. You’re a poor person. Your father is a shoemaker. I take after my father. I’m not a thief. Stop calling me a thief.” He also accused VDM of being “gay” and misusing funds, escalating the personal attacks.
The singer clarified that the Keke Napep incident involved his former record label, Destiny Records, which he claims framed him after he left due to lack of support.
Social Media Buzz and Public Reactions
The diss track has sparked a frenzy online, with some fans praising VDM’s audacity and others backing Portable’s quick clapback. Public sentiment on X reflects the divide, with one user noting, “VDM’s track is a banger, but Portable’s response is coming hard” (source: From A public X post). Another commented, “Portable has no shame; he’ll use this to trend again”
The back-and-forth has music lovers glued to their screens, anticipating whether Portable will drop a full counter-track to match VDM’s “Ole.”
Do you think all these matters ?
This clash highlights the growing influence of social media in shaping celebrity feuds, blending music, politics, and personal drama. VDM’s track, which also targets Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo and Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin, showcases his knack for stirring controversy, while Portable’s rapid response underscores his reputation as a street-pop artist who thrives in “roforofo” (messy fights).
As the beef unfolds, it raises questions about accountability, past allegations, and the role of public figures in Nigeria’s volatile online space.
