Controversial Nigerian singer Portable is making waves once again, as he has announced that he will no longer accept music collaborations unless he gets a 50% share.
Known for his unfiltered opinions and bold statements, the self-proclaimed “Wahala musician” took to social media to declare his new stance on features, leaving fans and industry insiders buzzing.
In a video circulating online, Portable, who has never been one to shy away from controversy, confidently stated, “No more featuring again, if you want to feature me, I will have 50%.” This bold declaration came as a surprise to many, given Portable’s previous enthusiasm for collaborating with fellow artists across the Nigerian music industry.
The “Zazoo Zeh” crooner, whose rise to fame has been anything but conventional, has made headlines time and again for his outspoken nature and unique approach to the industry. With this latest announcement, Portable appears to be setting new terms for anyone looking to collaborate with him, sending a message that he values his contributions and believes they should be equally rewarded.
Reactions to his statement have been mixed, with some fans applauding his decision to demand more for his work, while others expressed concerns that it could limit future collaborations. One fan wrote, “Portable no dey take nonsense! If he believes he deserves 50%, then more power to him.” Another commented, “This move might make it harder for him to collaborate with others, but knowing Portable, he’ll find a way to make it work.”
Portable’s rapid rise to fame in the Nigerian music scene came after his hit single Zazoo Zeh featuring Olamide and Poco Lee catapulted him into the spotlight. Since then, he has built a reputation for his wild antics, unpredictable behavior, and a string of controversies that have kept him in the public eye. His outbursts and demands, such as this latest one about feature fees, only add to his larger-than-life persona.
Despite his controversial nature, Portable’s unique style and raw talent have earned him a dedicated fan base. His music, a blend of street vibes and energetic rhythms, resonates with many who see him as an artist unafraid to be himself in a cutthroat industry.
While it remains to be seen how his new demand for 50% on features will impact his career moving forward, one thing is certain: Portable continues to be one of the most unpredictable and talked-about figures in Nigerian entertainment.
As the singer continues to chart his own path, fans can only wait to see what Portable will do next in the ever-evolving world of Nigerian music.
