Portable proclaims music is the most lucrative profession, even surpassing football.
Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has joined the debate on who earns more between musicians and footballers.
According to the ‘Zazu’ crooner, musicians earn far more than soccer stars. He further claimed that singers make more money than ritualists and fraudsters.
Portable spoke in a video message shared recently on his social media page. He said,
“Music money is bigger than football money. Music is business. Musicians earn more than ritualists and fraudsters. Apple Music revenue is huge. Footballers can’t compete.
People saying footballers earn more than musicians don’t know what they are saying. Musicians are at the top.”

In other news, Portable has reacted angrily to comments made by VeryDarkMan (VDM) about billionaire businessman Obi Cubana.
VDM had criticized Obi Cubana for urging blogs not to post content showing youths disrespecting elders. He accused the businessman of prioritizing lavish spending over addressing important issues affecting the youth.
During an Instagram Live session, Portable fiercely defended Obi Cubana. He revealed that he has benefited significantly from the billionaire’s generosity, including a N50 million ambassadorial deal with Odogwu Bitters.
Portable also questioned why VeryDarkMan’s father hadn’t worked as hard as Obi Cubana to achieve similar success. Additionally, he emphasized his own efforts to secure billionaire status for his children.
The exchange has sparked a heated debate, with fans and followers taking sides in the controversy.
