Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has asserted that he has provided more support to people in the music industry than fellow stars Olamide, Don Jazzy, Wizkid, and Davido.
In a video broadcast, the Zazu crooner said his efforts go beyond the music scene, extending to aiding less privileged individuals as well.
He emphasized that, unlike many of his peers who he describes as “egoistic,” he engages freely with ordinary people and actively connects with fans on social media.
Portable stated, “Many Nigerian celebrities don’t post their fans even if they dance to their songs or promote them. But I repost every positive video about me.”
He added, “Even with your money, many celebrities won’t let you feature them as an upcoming artist. But I help people freely. I have helped more people in the music industry than Don Jazzy, Olamide, Wizkid, and Davido.”
The singer further defined what he considers real assistance: “Help is when you see a homeless person and take them home, shelter them, clothe and feed them. You also take them to their first studio session and pay for it. Anything other than that, you are just doing business. A lot of the people claiming that they are helping others in the music industry are just doing business.”
Portable also criticized the tendency of some established artists to label those they once promoted as ungrateful once they pursue independence: “Most of the time, when the artists they are using for business decide to be independent or move forward, they label them ungrateful. How are they ungrateful? You only used them for business.”
