Abuga, a former signee of Nigerian singer Portable, has publicly called out his former boss, alleging mistreatment and financial exploitation. In an Instagram video, Abuga claimed that Portable mistreated his signees and staff, leaving them struggling to eat, and even did giveaways while his employees went hungry. Abuga also shared personal experiences, including receiving a car from Portable but not getting fuel money, and Portable reneging on promises to repair the car after an accident.
Abuga’s allegations echo those of another former signee, Young Duu, who also accused Portable of wrongdoing. Fans have reacted with mixed comments, with some supporting Abuga and praising his courage, while others question his motives or defend Portable. The controversy has sparked debate about the ethics of record labels and artist treatment in Nigeria’s music industry. Portable has yet to respond to Abuga’s allegations.
