Portable reveals how much he earned from “Zazuu Zeh”
Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, has stated that the money he earned from his breakthrough hit, ‘Zazuu Zeh,’ did not exceed N3 million.
The street-hop artist claimed he was taken advantage of by others in the industry since he was still a rising star and was unaware of how the Nigerian entertainment industry operated.
He rose to prominence in December 2021 after Poco Lee introduced him to rapper Olamide, who then featured on the remix of Zazuu.
The singer discussed everything he went through in his first few months as a rising star during an interview on The Echo Room.
Portable claimed that many individuals who intended to take advantage of him at the time had scammed him of N5 million and N3 million.

He said the N3 million he made from Zazuu when it was a trending song is what he used to buy his Toyota Camry.
According to him, he could not make more than that amount because he single-handedly took care of everybody on the team, including a manager, promoter and their own workers.
He said that he would fuel the promoter’s car and also take care of the boys with the promoter, adding that anytime he visits a boutique to buy clothes, they would follow him and he’d buy for them as well.
