Portable Sparks Fresh Drama with Olamide Claim: A Closer Look
Controversy is nothing new for Portable, as he’s sparked heated debate once again with bold claims about his collaboration with Olamide. During a recent live performance, the outspoken singer asserted that he played a pivotal role in catapulting Olamide to international fame, particularly through their hit track Zazzo Zeh. Portable didn’t hold back, pointing out that Olamide didn’t support him during the project, citing the lack of a joint music video and stage presence.
He emphatically stated, “I was the one who gave Olamide international recognition,” adding, “Zazzo made Olamide. Why didn’t Olamide call me for his show?” Portable expressed feelings of being overlooked, especially given Olamide’s recent sold-out London show, which featured notable artists like Asake and Seyi Vibez, but no invite for him.
Portable’s comments have ignited a firestorm online, with fans and commentators weighing in on the drama. While some sided with Portable, others called him out for rewriting history. “Portable dey always rewrite history. Olamide literally gave him the biggest push of his career,” one user said. “Drama always follows Portable. Na him brand,” another chimed in.
Some fans have also pointed out that Olamide has been a long-time supporter of Portable’s career, and that his claims are unfounded. Others have questioned Portable’s motives, suggesting that he’s seeking attention and validation.
The back-and-forth highlights the intense dynamics within Nigeria’s music scene, where collaborations can make or break careers, and past beefs often resurface. As the drama unfolds, one thing is clear: Portable is determined to make his voice heard.
The controversy has also sparked a wider conversation about credit and recognition in the music industry. Many are calling for more transparency and fairness in how artists are credited and compensated for their work. As the debate rages on, it’s clear that Portable’s comments have struck a chord with many in the industry.
