| Portable denies Olamide's role in his career breakthrough, sparks debate |
Nigerian music artist Portable has criticized the popular notion that Olamide played a pivotal role in bringing his career into the limelight.
Two years ago, the controversial artist collaborated with Olamide and Poco Lee on his breakout hit, Zazoo Zehh.
In a recent TikTok Live session, Portable denied receiving significant help from the legendary rapper.
While he acknowledged Olamide's contribution to the single, he confidently claimed the track had already gained traction before the rapper's involvement.
Despite attempts by other TikTokers in the live chat to correct his assertions, Portable remained steadfast, questioning how he should credit artists like Skepta, who have also collaborated with him.
Portable expressed pride in his musical achievements, as the hit track featuring Olamide has amassed millions of streams across various platforms.
However, social media users reacted with mixed opinions to his remarks. Many criticized Portable, labeling him ungrateful.
"This guy is really an ingrate. He’s someone you can never help and expect recognition for it. That’s why many big artists avoid associating with him. Who was he before Olamide gave him those verses? An ungrateful person will always be ungrateful," a tweep commented.
Meanwhile, a few others endorsed Portable's statements, sparking further debate online.
