Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has stirred the music scene once again, this time aiming at his former benefactor, Olamide, in a fiery social media rant.
The singer accused the YBNL boss of actively sabotaging his career by instructing others not to play his songs.
The outburst has left fans shocked, especially considering Olamide’s role in shaping Portable’s rise to fame. Many observers described the attack as a blatant act of ingratitude, warning that the singer may be burning one of the most important bridges in his career.
In the video, Portable questioned the true nature of his relationship with the rap legend, rejecting any notion of financial or personal support. According to him, their connection was strictly professional, and he accused Olamide of now acting out of spite.
”We join business ni now. Won ni se iya kan na lo bi wa ni now? Won ni se baba kan na lo bi wa? Owo de n so, enu n me’nu, ki n ko lo ko’pa? E ba l’e help mi mo,” Portable said, expressing bewilderment at why the man who once supported him would allegedly instruct others to stop playing his music.
The singer specifically referenced his breakout hit, emphasizing the perceived betrayal:
”Ki… What do you say about me? Why will you say they should don’t play my song? Orin to gbo, te gbo, Zazu te gbo, te fi wa f’enu si? Orin mi?”
Portable went further to challenge Olamide over claims of providing support, questioning whether the rapper ever gave him food, clothing, or housing, or even signed a formal contract.
”Bro, they know say… Se you signed me ni? Se e gbo pe boya e sign mi ni? Abi e fun mi l’onje ni? Abi e fun mi l’ata? Abi e fun mi l’epo? Abi boya e ra aso fun mi ni?” he declared.
He also painted a picture of self-reliance, likening himself to a lion hunting in the jungle, independent and untethered by past alliances:
”I am a lion. Mo de n l’ogbo, mo de n pa’je, mo n mu’je. Nkan to ba wu mi je, ohun de lo n wa’le wa. Eh, it’s good to be a lion in the jungle,” Portable said.
Concluding his rant, the singer warned critics and former associates to stop pursuing him, insisting that he would rather thrive independently than exist as a “stray dog” on the streets. Portable remains resolute that his talent and success are self-made, with his “glory coming from God.”
“Olamide, dey your dey make I dey my dey, Tunde Perry say na you talk say make dem no play my song again, no Dey whine me, I’m big more than anybody”
