Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has made a strong assertion. He claims that disloyalty significantly contributes to the downfall of many artists. This often occurs after they depart from prominent record labels. He specifically named imprints owned by acclaimed music stars like Olamide, Don Jazzy, and Davido.
Portable also validated a widely held belief within the industry. He stated that claims suggesting top artists such as Davido, Olamide, Wizkid, and Burna Boy do not hinder other artists’ careers are true. He expressed his observations on loyalty in Pidgin, which translates to: “People who leave Olamide’s label don’t succeed anymore. The same goes for those who depart Don Jazzy or Davido’s labels. They simply lack loyalty.”
Addressing his public persona, Portable affirmed that his music career will continue to flourish. This, he noted, holds true regardless of public opinion about his character. He emphasized his approach, stating, “I do what I like. I focus on what makes me money.”
