Controversial street‑hop star Portable (Habeeb Okikiola) has set social media ablaze with a new video in which he directly questions rapper and YBNL boss Olamide, asking, “Are you the first person to help me?” and accusing him of failing to follow through on promised support. Portable claims Olamide “didn’t even shoot the Zazoo video with me” and “refused to take me to London,” suggesting that the rapper’s assistance stopped at messages and that the hit “Zazoo” propelled Olamide’s international visibility more than his own. He warned Olamide to “reply me so he won’t regret it in the future,” framing the exchange as a demand for acknowledgment rather than a plea for help.
This outburst follows a pattern of on‑again, off‑again tension between the two artists. Earlier, Portable publicly thanked Olamide as a “benefactor” before later accusing him of “gatekeeping” and blocking his music from playlists [4]. While Olamide has stayed silent, focusing on his sold‑out OVO Arena show, fans and industry insiders are divided—some label Portable “ungrateful,” while others see his frustration as a reflection of deeper mentorship expectations in Nigerian music.
Despite the harsh words, a later report hints that Portable may have softened his stance, allegedly reaching out to Olamide with an apology, suggesting a possible desire to mend fences and return to their collaborative roots.
