Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, who is popularly known as Portable, has accused his senior colleague, Davido, of giving him misleading advice during a recent dinner they had in the United States. According to Drivetvnews, the ‘Zazu’ crooner claimed in a recent Instagram Live session that Davido, who is signed with Sony Music, advised him against joining the label but suggested signing with Empire instead.
Portable expressed his ambition to win a Grammy like Davido but criticized the advice, saying that joining Empire might not help him achieve this goal. He emphasized the importance of genuine helpers who do not spread gossip or give poor advice.
He recalled how Olamide and Skepta had supported him directly, with Skepta even providing him with a verse, money, shoes, clothes, and connections to big fashion brands. Portable expressed his preference for such genuine support rather than advice that could mislead him.
He stated, “You are signed to Sony Music, but you’re giving me bad advice in America to get signed to Empire and collect advance. The same Grammy you’re chasing is what I’m also chasing.”
Portable concluded by saying, “Olamide helped me directly, Skepta gave me a verse, money, shoes, clothes and still linked me up with big fashion brands. That’s the kind of helper I want from God not someone who will be following mouth.”
