“PORTABLE’S AMERICAN MISADVENTURE: DAVIDO’S DUBIOUS ADVICE”

Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, famously known as Portable, has publicly criticized his senior colleague, Davido, accusing him of offering misguided advice during a recent dinner they shared in the United States.

In a recent Instagram Live session, the ‘Zazu’ artist claimed that Davido, who is affiliated with Sony Music, discouraged him from joining the label but instead suggested he sign with Empire.

Portable expressed his ambition to attain a Grammy, just like Davido, but questioned the wisdom of joining a label that might not contribute to his chances of winning the prestigious award.

Emphasizing the importance of genuine support, Portable recounted how artists like Olamide and Skepta directly assisted him, providing not only financial aid but also valuable connections with prominent fashion brands.

He remarked, “You are signed to Sony Music, but you’re giving me bad advice in America to get signed to Empire and collect advance. The same Grammy you’re chasing is what I’m also chasing. Olamide helped me directly, Skepta gave me a verse, money, shoes, clothes and still linked me up with big fashion brands. That’s the kind of helper I want from God not someone who will be following mouth.”
