Portable warns against comparison with Asake

TheTalk.NG meanwhile earlier reported that Portable warned his fans from comparing him with his colleague, Asake. According to him, he looks more like American singer Lili Wayne.

According to the music star, who recently shared his account details online, he does not owe Empire records, but it was Sony’s money that he has been spending.

He mentioned that he was a Chief Executive Officer and that Sony cannot spoil his face and Empire Records cannot also do such to him because he didn’t collect their money.
