Portable Reveals Plan To Win Grammy Award
Portable has said that he has set his sights on earning a Grammy.
Nigerian singer Tems won the Best Melodic Rap Performance award at the 2023 Grammys, which were held on Sunday.
In a recent chat with Timi Agbaje, the ‘Zazoo’ crooner was asked to disclose the one thing that would be the greatest achievement of his music career and he answered back that he aspires to win a Grammy award.
The “Zazu” singer maintained that he needed to be recognised by the world music organisation because he did not want any of the local honours being ‘sold up and down’.
“Make I no like you; an to collect Grammy. Yes na, abi?”, was his response in Pidgin English.
“Which category”, the interviewer quizzed.
“Best Artiste for Africa ni”, came the reply.
“That thing I’d want to do that’ll make me truly fulfilled is to win a Grammy. I want to win the category of ‘Best Artiste in Africa’. Best artiste o! Number 1!! That Ika of Africa, I want to use the title to collect that award,” he said.

“Those people collecting awards, what are they singing? Can you sing with live band? Can you sing good song? Can you sing reality song? Can’t you praise God? ….Ogun kee you!
Portable then went ahead to slam his fist on a nearby table for emphasis, harping on his award being an international one.
Revealing the female artiste he can’t wait to do a collabo with he added: “There are several female artistes I’d like to collaborate with. But let me not lie, I love Asa.”
