Portable discloses that ‘Zazu’ blew worldwide before Olamide’s remix
Controversial Nigerian musician Habeeb Okikiola, better known by his stage name Portable, has stated that before Olamide remixed his song in 2021, his song “Zazu” was viral across the globe.
He said that if Olamide hadn’t been well-known and his song hadn’t gone viral, he wouldn’t have benefited from it.
Speaking in the most recent episode of the Bae U Barbi program Curiosity Made Me Ask, Portable refuted rumors that he has been riding the “Zazu” wave ever since becoming famous, emphasizing that he has since put out two albums and other hit songs.
He said, “Since when we did dropped ‘Zazu’ with Baddo [Olamide], that one has gone [sic]. I am the one they [fans] are listening to, I am dropping back to back. If you don’t drop again, they will forget you. If I don’t drop again, they won’t hear me. That is why I am putting more energy.
“It is because I was popular that made Olamide help me. If I wasn’t popular, they won’t help me. ‘Zazu’ blew worldwide. My freestyle went viral” [sic].
