Portable Slams Olamide, Claims Rapper Will Regret Not Signing Him to YBNL

Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has publicly called out acclaimed rapper Olamide, claiming he “will regret not signing me” to his YBNL record label.

Portable, who gained fame with the 2021 hit “Zazoo Zeh”, a collaboration with Olamide and dancer Poco Lee, aired his grievances on Instagram, accusing his former collaborators of cheating him and withdrawing support after he demanded his rights.

The “Tony Montana” hitmaker wrote: “If you forget me, my God will not forget me. God bless Skepta, my helper who carried me from where they stopped… Olamide Bado will regret why he did not sign me or support me again, just because I fought for my rights.”

Portable also highlighted his international rise, claiming that “Zazuu turned a local rapper into an international rapper and a local dancer into a ripper.” He insisted that his fan base and global recognition would ensure he becomes bigger than those who blocked his path.

This is not the first time Portable has publicly criticized fellow artistes. In 2023, he initially sought collaborations with Davido and Burna Boy, later criticizing them for perceived lack of support despite generous gestures, including a N20 million gift from Burna Boy.

The ongoing controversy underscores tensions in the Nigerian music industry, particularly regarding artist recognition, label signings, and collaboration disputes.
