Nigerian music sensation Portable has ignited a fresh controversy by publicly calling out fellow artist Dammy Krane for failing to pay him for a collaboration. The “Zazoo Zehh” singer took to his Instagram page to air his grievances, simultaneously pledging his unwavering loyalty to his benefactor, Davido. Portable, known for his outspoken nature, recently linked up with Davido during a trip to the United States.
Portable, whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola, is a Nigerian street-pop artist known for his energetic performances and unique style. He rose to fame with his hit “Zazoo Zehh,” featuring Olamide and Poco Lee. Portable’s music blends traditional African rhythms with contemporary sounds, making it vibrant and dynamic. He collaborates with notable Nigerian artists and is known for his charismatic public persona and active engagement with fans on social media. Portable’s success underscores the growing influence of street-pop in Nigeria’s vibrant music scene.
In a video shared on his social media, Portable emphasized his allegiance to the “Unavailable” crooner. The controversy stems from a collaboration between Portable and Dammy Krane last year. Portable claims that he was never compensated for his contribution to the track, which Dammy Krane used to throw shade at Davido.
In his video, Portable asserted that his participation in the song was not intended as a diss towards Davido, stressing that he would never do anything to jeopardize his relationship with his benefactor.
