Skepta’s response to fans asking about why he’s trending—“I’ve just seen Portable is dragging somebody again. Apparently, I’m next. We dey wait lol”—shows that he’s aware of the drama but isn’t overly concerned about it.
Portable’s tendency to call out collaborators and benefactors could certainly be a source of anxiety for people like Skepta, especially since the Nigerian artist doesn’t seem to shy away from stirring up controversy. Skepta might be anticipating some sort of public clash, but he’s taking it in stride for now. Given their collaboration on “Tony Montana,” Skepta might be keeping an eye on how things unfold, but it doesn’t sound like he’s letting it affect him too much yet.
Do you think Skepta’s response is a sign of confidence, or do you think he’s just trying to play it cool while privately being more concerned?
