Social media reacts as Portable says Olamide did not make him famous

Social media reacts as – He says that Olamide…

He says that Olamide helped him but is not responsible for his fame.

Nigerian singer Portable has ruffled feathers on social media after asserting that rapper Olamide did not make him famous.

During a recent live stream on TikTok, the controversial singer spoke about his fame after Olamide featured in his hit single Zazu Zeh in 2021, slamming the notion that the rapper made him popular. He clarified that while Olamide helped him, the credit for his fame does not solely belong to the rapper.

He said, “Is it Olamide that posted me and got me famous? He’s my helper, yes but I was already famous before he helped me.”

“These are two different things; he didn’t come to meet me suffering. Everyone wanted to mingle with me at the time and it even caused some issues. But let’s even talk about it, since that time that Olamide helped me, has he ever posted me on his story? ” he asked, I thank God for what he did but still, what year did he help me? It’s not the same feature that I’ve been using to fend for myself all this while.”

Portable also pointed to other figures like Tunde Ednut and Skepta, highlighting their contributions to his career, while calling out industry insiders he claims have blacklisted him.

He continued, “Did he ever post me or repost any of my singles? Don’t tell me rubbish. I helped myself, please! I’ve even been backlisted in the industry. Abeg, if you no see me, I no see you! What would you now say about Skepta, who did a collab with me? It was Tunde Ednut who helped me by posting my freestyle; people were already looking for me before Olamide.”

“Let me remind you all If you’ve forgotten, it was an old video that brought me to the spotlight. The reason nobody wants to mingle with me anymore is because they know I know my rights. I’m a superstar, fuck you people!” Portable seethed.

In every nonsense, sense still Dey am!”
