Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has stated that he is not in any competition with his colleague, Kizz Daniel.
He, however, said the ‘Twe Twe’ crooner is the one who is competing with him.
Speaking in a video message shared via his social media page recently, Portable said common sense should tell fans that he is the rave of the moment.
He said, “Kizz Daniel is the one dragging position with me. Some fans don’t have brain, if you have brain you will understand I’m the one reigning. Kizz Daniel and I dominating the chart now. Any song we drop, goes to number one.”
Portable recently reflected on his journey from the streets to prominence, recounting how he used to perform for just N200 at events before the rapper’s intervention.
He said; “I would have still been on the streets if not for Olamide, I went to London to collaborate with the best rapper in the UK and it’s all thanks to Olamide. He told me that I was gonna make it even when nobody believed in me. And I have made it bigger than I ever thought.
“Olamide is a boss and I respect him so much. He sponsored me without asking for anything in return. Olamide is the only guy in the music industry that showed me love.
“Olamide paved the way for me, and God used him to bless me. I’m from the streets, I used to perform for N200 but I thank God for sending Olamide to me.”
Portable had also featured the UK rapper Skepta on a song titled Tony Montana.
Tony Montana has unlocked many milestones in the careers of the artists who worked on the project as it earned Portable his first number-one song on the Spotify and Apple Music chart for Nigeria as well as a UK Chart debut.
Skepta and Jae 5 also earned their first number-one spot on the Spotify Top Songs Daily chart for Nigeria with the hit song as well.
