Portable mocks Olamide for not signing him as Asake allegedly dumps YBNL
Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has taken a swipe at fellow artist Olamide following reports that Asake has allegedly parted ways with YBNL.
In a viral video making rounds on X (formerly Twitter), Portable reflected on the moment Olamide gave him a verse on the hit song Zazzu.
He expressed disappointment that Olamide chose to sign Asake over him, only for Asake to now abandon him.
Speaking in the video, Portable said:
“Olamide, you used Asake to tackle me in the industry. You wanted to cancel me, so I ran to Sango. From Sango, I toured the world. Now look at the person you lifted above me—he has dumped you without even saying thank you. You took away my producer, my promoter, Kogbagidi, and my dancer.”
“Now see life—Asake doesn’t appreciate you anymore, yet I still do. I thank you for the verse you gave me on “Zazzu”. I started the trend of wearing big shoes and oversized clothes, but you told Asake to copy it.”
“You are a copycat. Davido, I was the influencer for crypto and bitcoin, but you hijacked it from me and still claim to be a rich man.”
Portable’s remarks have sparked reactions online, with many taking to the comment section to share their thoughts.
