Controversial Nigerian musician, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has claimed that he has more hit songs than his colleague, Burna Boy.
He insisted that he wasn’t boasting, stressing that he was a better hitmaker than the Grammy-winning star.
The ‘Zazu’ crooner stated this in a video making the rounds on social media.
“I have more hit songs than Burna Boy. I’m not making empty boasts. I have hit songs like ‘Tony Montana’. Uncle Burna, I have more hits than you,” he stated.
Portable hit stardom in December 2021 with the release of ‘Zazoo Zeh’, his hit single featuring Olamide and Poco Lee.
He has also produced hit tracks including ‘All Eyes On Me’, ‘Clear Azaman’, ‘Neighbour’ and ‘Ogo Forever’.
In a recent post on TikTok, Portable disclosed that he used to perform at shows as low as two hundred naira before Olamide helped his career.
Portable expressed gratitude to Olamide, while acknowledging him for turning his life around. Portable recently 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.
