Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, aka Portable, has explained why he blasted Olamide on social media.

According to the Zazu star, Olamide did not hold his hand and guide him the way UK rapper Skepta did.

“Do you why I cannot fight with Skepta, he held my hands the way I’m currently holding your hand while Olamide did not hold my hand like that, I just dey run up and down, I no get management. Make una help me tell Olamide say Olamide give me just Zazu, I use am tour the whole world, make he carry me join body nau”, he said.

Speaking further, Portable said Olamide should have signed him on to his YBNL record label, but he is now bigger than that level, and only Sony Music can sign him.

Not stopping there, the Zazu crooner also claimed Olamide’s artist at the time, Asake, was also copying his dance moves and clothing styles.

In his words:

“Olamide can’t sign me for now, I’m big now. Only Sony music can sign me. Olamide is my helper, back then he could sign me. Now? No. Now, he can take me to where they would sign me. I swear I am blessed. When Olamide was meant to sign me, he didn’t, when I was still ignorant. Didn’t you hear what Asake said? He said the contract he signed then, he can never sign it now, so me too, I have grown now. Make them do O2 Arena for me too. Asake does all my dance steps, I wear heavy clothes of many yards and Asake also started doing same.”

Portable also clarified that he doesn’t have a problem with Asake and that it’s a blessing if he calls out a person because he would make them trend:

“I no get problem with Asake, na my friend. If I mention a person’s name, they should thank God. I’m a blessing. If I even insult someone, they would trend, if I saw good things about the person, they would still blow.”
