Afrobeats singer and songwriter, Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has said he has assisted more upcoming artists in the Nigerian music industry than the likes of Olamide, Wizkid, Davido, and music executive, Don Jazzy.
The controversial singer made that claim in a recent video broadcast sighted on social media.
According to Portable, his assistance is not only limited to those in the music industry but also extends to the less privileged in society.
The ‘Zazu’ crooner also explained that, unlike most of his colleagues who are egoistic, he associates freely with ordinary people and even identifies with them on social media.

Speaking in the now-viral clip, he said, “Many Nigerian celebrities don’t post their fans even if they dance to their songs or promote them. But I repost every positive video about me.
“Even with your money, many celebrities won’t let you feature them as an upcoming artist. But I help people freely. I have helped more people in the music industry than Don Jazzy, Olamide, Wizkid, and Davido.
“Help is when you see a homeless person and take them home, shelter them, clothe and feed them. You also take them to their first studio session and pay for it. Anything other than that, you are just doing business. A lot of the people claiming that they are helping others in the music industry are just doing business.
“Most of the time, when the artists they are using for business decide to be independent or move forward, they label them ungrateful. How are they ungrateful? You only used them for business.”
