Controversial singer Portable has accused Afrobeats stars Wizkid, Davido, Olamide, and Burna Boy of obstructing the rise of other musicians in the industry.
In a video shared on social media, Portable said, “Wizkid, Olamide, Davido, and Burna Boy have been at the top for over 10 years and blocking the way for other artistes to come up.”
He also claimed they exaggerate the value of their jewelry to pressure younger artists. “They also lie a lot, they can say they bought a chain for 1 billion dollars, whereas it might have been given to them for free.”
Portable urged the established stars to stop flaunting wealth in ways that burden upcoming talents and vowed to keep calling them out.
This is not his first criticism of top artists. In 2024, he accused Wizkid and Davido of using their feud for relevance, writing: “Una songs no dey market again, na fight una dey use do promotion.”
In 2025, he opened up about his rift with Olamide, claiming the rapper gave him a verse on the “Zazu” remix but didn’t provide management support. “Olamide didn’t hold my hand; he gave me a verse on ‘Zazu’ and left me without management,” Portable said, adding that he now appreciates British rapper Skepta more for his support.
