Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, aka Portable has shared a new freestyle dissing colleagues, Davido, and Zlatan Ibile.
The ongoing social media feud between the polarizing artist Portable and his counterpart Davido has escalated to a fresh level.
Portable has again hit hard at Davido after he unfollowed him on Instagram.
The duo fell out after Portable publicly accused Davido of giving him ‘bad advice’ during their recent dinner in the United States.
He claimed that Davido, who signed with Sony Music, advised him against joining the label and urged him to sign with Empire instead.
The ‘Zazu’ crooner alleged foul play, saying he is also aiming for a Grammy like Davido yet the DMW boss is asking him to join a label that might not influence the award for him.
Following his outburst, Davido unfollowed him on Instagram on Thursday.
Reacting, Portable said he doesn’t need Davido’s followership or assistance to be a successful artist or to win a Grammy.
He insinuated that Davido unfollowed him because he stopped being beneficial to him.
Speaking in a video message shared via his Instagram page, Portable said: “They tried to destroy me and quickly unfollowed me because I stopped being beneficial to them. Whether you help me or not, I will do my tour; whether you follow me or not, I will collect Grammy.”
Controversial singer Portable continues to roar at Davido as he tags him a failure, vowing never to associate with failures like him.
This comes amid his recent outburst on social media during which he had claimed that the singer gave him a bad advice in US where they linked.
Following his outburst, Davido had promptly unfollowed him on Instagram, thus sparking more reactions from Portable.
In a recent video that surfaced online, he could be heard calling Davido a failure.
He noted that he doesn’t and will not mingle with failures like the singer.
“I’m a winner, I’m not a failure. I will never mingle with failure. You’re a failure,” he said emphatically.

Portable shocks many as he lambasts Davido for unfollowing him, accuses him of trying to destroy him but failing at his plans.
Portable had met up with Davido while in the US and was given a nice treat, courtesy of the 001.
Shortly after his return, he started calling out Davido online, claiming he was giving him bad career advice on what label to get signed into.
This seemed to have enraged Davido, which caused him to unfollow Portable.
Portable did not take that well and made a series of accusations in a new video.
He stated that he doesn’t care who unfollows him or follows him, revealing that he will still win a Grammy award regardless of his support.

Afrobeats star, Davido has unfollowed his junior colleague, Portable on Instagram.
This is coming after Portable accused the ‘Unavailable’ crooner of giving him bad advice
Portable had claimed that Davido advised him to sign with Empire instead of Sony Music, which he believed was a wrong move.
He also expressed his desire to win a Grammy, seemingly throwing shade at Davido.
This drama unfolded just days after Portable had dinner with Davido in Atlanta, and had begged Davido for a feature on a song.
The two artists had seemingly put aside their differences, but Portable’s recent outburst and Davido’s subsequent unfollowing suggest that their feud is far from over.
Controversial singer Portable has called out a certain Sony Music artist over the ‘bad advice’ he gave him in the US, days after he met with Davido.
It would be recalled that two Nigerian musicians had linked up in Atlanta US, where they dined together.
In a video that surfaced online, Portable can be seen ranting over the sort of advice he received.
According to him, he was advice to join Empire music group by someone who is in Sony music, which he considers to be bigger.
He expressed his dissatisfaction with the advice, wondering why he wasn’t told to join Sony because that would increase his recognition globally.
Portable emphasized that the sort of music connection he wants is the sort that will increase him from zero to 100.
It would be recalled that Davido signed a deal with Sony Music in 2016, and renewed the deal in 2023.

Nigerian singer, Davido has been dragged online as fans run into a significant loss barely 24 hours after investing in $DAVIDO meme coins.
It would be recalled that the singer launched a meme cryptocurrency which operates on Solana’s blockchain platform.
However, following the buzz around the coin, causing many fans to invest heavily, the singer reportedly cashed out his profit which allegedly crashed the price of $Davido coins.
Sharing a snapshot of the crash, a fan who had invested about $150 worth of the coin woke to only $20 on his account, a fall amounting to 86.6667%.
Fans have since taken to the X platform to pour out their anger for trusting him and investing in the coin.

yobrxxzy noted: “Davido as a musician grossed $192k. Davido as an influencer made $473k. Wizkid was right at the end of the day.”
UnkleAyo stated: “I hope Davido knows that he can go to jail for coordinated scams. SEC currently has filed charges against Jake Paul, Soulja boy, Lil yachty and Lindsay Lohan. He’s also not a “first offender”. He’s not poor. I don’t know why he’s moving like a fool and a fraudster.”
FaruqBashar added: “Davido did same thing a lot of big crypto influencers did here to get rich, Gas up a project, then dump on the community. The game is the game, eat or get eaten.”
