Controversial singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable has opined that his colleague, Zlatan Ibile, is an up-and-coming artist.

He made the claim in a recent interview on the Echo Room podcast.

According to him, a car dealer chided him for beefing Zlatan, saying the rapper wasn’t worth it and was only using his name for clout.

He said the ‘Zanku’ crooner is not popular among rich folks due to his style of music.

He said, “Zlatan is an up-and-coming artist. There was a man I got a car from. I decided to change my car for my birthday, from one of the people I get cars from. He said I shouldn’t have answered Zlatan. He said Zlatan wanted to chase clout with my name. Then he said he didn’t even know his songs that he just started hearing his name.

“A lot of wealthy people don’t know some of these artists’ lyrics. What are they singing? Are those songs? You cannot do call and response. Is that music? Are you joking?”
