Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Portable, has addressed his past grievances with rapper and music executive Olamide.

He previously accused Olamide of taking his producer, dancer, and promoter from him.

During an appearance on the EchoRoom podcast, Portable expressed his belief that Olamide could have offered him more support early in his career rather than just contributing a verse to the remix of his 2021 hit track, "Zazu."

He compared Olamide's efforts to that of British rapper Skepta, who, according to Portable, provided substantial support beyond making music together.

Portable stated, "I have no complaints about Skepta because he genuinely supported me. Olamide, on the other hand, only gave me a verse on "Zazu" and didn’t assist with management. Now that I’m a global star, signing me is no longer an option."
