Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, has claimed that disloyalty contributes to the failure of some artistes previously signed to record labels owned by Olamide, Don Jazzy, Davido and other ace music stars.
Naijaonpoint reports that the ‘Za Zu’ crooner made the claim during a recent interview on Isbae U’s “Curiosity Made Me Ask” podcast.
Portable also stated that the claim in some quarters that Davido, Olamide, Wizkid and Burna Boy were not blocking other artistes from making progress in the music industry is valid.
Speaking in pidgin, the singer said, “Dem say people wey comot Olamide label no blow again. Dem say people wey comot for Don Jazzy abi Davido label no blow again. Dem no dey loyal ni.”
Speaking about his public personality, Portable noted that his music career would continue to flourish irrespective of public opinion about his character.
He stressed, “Na wetin I like I dey do. Dis thing wey I dey use make money, na him I dey do.”
However, Portable said he was not being given due recognition for his achievements in the industry, stressing that Olamide’s music career was not reckoned with the international scene until they collaborated on his “Zazu Zeh” single.
He also accused another colleague, Zlatan Ibile, of allegedly blocking his access to and potential collaboration with Davido.
