I’m Bigger Than Everybody – Portable Reacts To Claims Of Olamide, Promoters Blacklisting Him (Video)

Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has responded to allegations that certain prominent figures in the country’s music industry have blacklisted him.

Popular influencer, Tunde Perry recently sparked reactions after revealing that he attended a meeting where some top music executives allegedly blacklisted Portable for gross misconduct.

He claimed that Portable’s unruly actions in the industry did not just put him in the black book of top industry heads but affected the chances of up-and-coming artists being assisted by established artists and executives.

Perry further claimed that ace rapper and music executive Olamide is now skeptic about assisting up-and-coming artists due to his experience with Portable, who turned to his critic after he assisted him on his breakthrough track ‘Zazu.’

Reacting via a video broadcast, Portable blasted Tunde Perry, Olamide, and the music executives, who allegedly blacklisted him.

He boasted that he doesn’t need the support of any music executive to succeed in the music industry, adding that his fans are enough for him.

The Zazu crooner claimed that he is currently a bigger figure in the music industry than the promoters and artists, who allegedly blacklisted him.

Portable said, “I am bigger than them. Who are those who want to blacklist? I heard that Tunde Perry said Olamide and his circle of music executives called for me to be blacklisted. Are you guys, my fans or my God? Are you feeding me?

“I have my own fans. I am bigger than any f**king person. Anyone who wants to help you, won’t stress you. Don’t use the assistance you gave me in the past to stress me. Are you the only one who has ever assisted me?

“There are a lot of people who helped me without stressing me. Why would you say they shouldn’t play my songs again? Olamide, don’t mess with me. If you mess with me, I will return the energy. Stay on your own lane.”

Afrobeats War: I’m The New Fela, Nobody Comes Close, I’ve Been To Prison Many Times – Portable Brags (Video)

Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has proclaimed himself the new Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

The Zazoo Zeh crooner released a video in which he compared himself to Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, declaring that no musician today can surpass him.

He said: “Wizkid said he’s the new Fela; has he been to prison before? I am Tony Montana of London. If you say you are bigger than Fela, have you d!ed before, have you gone to prison before, has life dealt with you before?

“How much do you have in your account? You are this, you are that that one is for your pocket.

“Man, I am bigger than you. I’ve been to prison more times than you. I faced it, I was implicated. I spent money and my body.

“Who do you help? Do you give people food? I have fed people on the streets, shared food, and changed lives directly.

“You are bigger than Fela, for where? I am bigger than you? When I needed help, did I see you? If we use the same car you are using, would we be the same? I am more popular than you. I am the new born Fela”.

The statement comes amid ongoing feud involving Seun Kuti and Wizkid.

The conflict started when Seun Kuti rejected comparisons between Wizkid and his father, saying words like, Wizkid is “bigger” or “more influential” diminish Fela’s legacy.

He argued that Fela’s impact as a political and cultural activist goes beyond music success alone.

Seun has also criticized Wizkid’s fans for repeatedly referencing Fela in online debates, describing their behaviour as disrespectful.

Seun further pointed out that equating modern commercial success with Fela’s historical influence shows a misunderstanding of history.

While acknowledging Wizkid’s achievements as an artiste, Seun questioned why people feel the need to claim he is greater than Fela.

He also raised concerns about Wizkid’s use of the nickname “Big Bird,” claiming it was previously associated with him and should not be copied.

In response, Wizkid took to Instagram to assert his position, saying that he rejects the comparisons to Fela and considers himself bigger in terms of modern success.
