Portable criticizes Zinoleesky for prioritizing a Ferrari purchase over music promotion.
The Nigerian music scene witnessed a social media uproar as Portable, a prominent singer, publicly criticized fellow artist, Oniyide Azeez, popularly known as Zinoleesky, for his recent acquisition of a Ferrari.
Reports of Zinoleesky cruising in a Ferrari sparked Portable’s disapproval, leading him to take to Instagram on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, to voice his concerns. In a video shared online, the Zazu king mocked Zinoleesky for reportedly splurging on the luxury car despite not having a breakout hit song.
Portable suggested that Zinoleesky should rethink his spending and instead focus on investing in his music career. He emphasized the importance of achieving musical success before indulging in extravagant purchases.
Further elaborating on his stance, Portable highlighted the poor state of roads in his locality and questioned the justification behind Zinoleesky’s lavish display when others, like himself, with multiple vehicles, are striving to make positive contributions to society.
His comments underscored the gap between Zinoleesky’s perceived success and his actual accomplishments in the music industry, advocating for a more practical approach to career advancement.
