Afrobeats singer, Habeeb Okikiola, better known as portable, has bowed to pressure and tendered a public apology to Fuji star, Akorede Babatunde Okunola aka Saheed Osupa after calling him “big for nothing”.

The controversial singer had prior to this, dragged Osupa for taking down his song on streaming platforms for  copyright violation.

It all started when Portable used a line from the Fuji artiste’s song, prompting complaints from Osupa and his distribution team, which led to the track being taken down from Apple Music and Spotify.

“It’s money that causes a fight. It’s money that destroys siblings’ relationship, and causes a fight between father and son.

“It was music money that caused our fight because it was when I went to collect money for the song that I was told that it has been removed on streaming platforms. Please my daddy, forgive me and adopt me as your child.”
