Portable sparks uproar after claiming he boosted Olamide’s global fame
Controversial singer Portable has ignited a fresh wave of online debate after accusing rapper Olamide of sidelining him and failing to invite him to his recently sold-out London concert.
Speaking during an interview with a media host, Portable went on a heated rant, alleging that his breakthrough hit Zazoo Zeh, which featured Olamide, was the reason many international listeners remembered the YBNL boss. He claimed that despite their successful collaboration, Olamide has not supported him the way he expected.
The singer expressed disappointment over not being included in Olamide’s London show, which featured big names like Asake, Seyi Vibez, and Darkoo. According to Portable, this was a sign that Olamide no longer acknowledges him.
He contrasted this with how he believes others including Davido, value him, adding that he sees a bright future for himself in the global music space. Portable even suggested that he could one day win a Grammy and become a respected figure in Nigerian music.
During a separate live performance, Portable doubled down on his claims, insisting that he contributed significantly to Olamide’s visibility. He criticized Olamide for not appearing in the Zazoo Zeh music video and alleged that he was the one who helped renew the rapper’s international relevance.
His comments quickly went viral, triggering strong reactions across social media. The controversy has once again placed Portable at the center of public conversation, continuing his streak of headline-making moments within the Nigerian music scene.
"Olamide didn't shoot Zazzo video with me, he didn't stand alongside me in the video. I was the one that gave Olamide international recognition. Zazzo made Olamide. Why didn't Olamide call me for his show?"
