Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has stirred controversy by asserting that his success in the music industry is self-made and not due to the influence of Olamide Adedeji, widely known as Olamide.
Portable emphasized that he was already gaining recognition before crossing paths with Olamide. He further accused the YBNL boss of not promoting or sharing his songs, rejecting the notion that Olamide played a significant role in his rise to fame.
Netizens were agitated by the controversial singer’s statement, characterizing the Zazuu Zeh crooner as ungrateful.
