In other news… Controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola popularly known as “Portable” has once again caused a stir on social media with his bold statement about his place in the Nigerian music industry.
In a viral video currently circulating online, the Zazoo Zeh singer has confidently compared himself to Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, insisting that no artist is greater than him.
While highlighting his influence and success, Portable dismissed the superiority complex of other musicians in the industry.
In his words:
“I am a newborn Fela. If you say you are older than Fela, then I am older than you. No one can hit me.”
The comments were made during an ongoing online exchange between Seun Kuti, Wizkid and Wizkid FC members.
As expected, the video prompted mixed reactions. Some fans praised his confidence, while others felt the comparison to Fela was unnecessary and disrespectful.
One social media user responded, “This boy is so bold.” Another added, “Portable never disappoints.”
