Portable Accuses Olamide of Sidelining Him After London Concert
Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has stirred up a new wave of online debate after accusing rap icon Olamide of sidelining him and failing to invite him to his recently sold-out London concert.
In a heated interview with a media host, Portable claimed that his breakout hit Zazoo Zeh which featured Olamide was the major reason many international fans remembered the YBNL boss. According to him, despite the success of their collaboration, Olamide has not shown him the level of support he expected.
Portable expressed disappointment over being excluded from Olamide’s star-studded London show, which featured top performers including Asake, Seyi Vibez, and Darkoo. To the singer, this omission was a clear sign that Olamide no longer acknowledges or values him.
He went on to compare this with how artists like Davido treat him, stating that they show him more respect. Portable added that he sees a bright future for himself on the global stage, boldly predicting that he could one day win a Grammy and become one of Nigeria’s most respected musicians.
The controversy escalated further during a live performance, where Portable doubled down on his claims. He insisted that he played a key role in boosting Olamide’s visibility and criticized the rapper for not appearing in the Zazoo Zeh music video. Portable alleged that his contribution helped renew Olamide’s international relevance.
His statements quickly went viral, drawing strong reactions across social media platforms. Once again, Portable finds himself at the center of public conversation continuing his streak of headline-making moments in the Nigerian music scene.
