Nigerian musician Portable has sparked controversy by claiming that the legendary Afrobeats musician and human rights activist, Fela Kuti, was responsible for his own untimely death.
During a recent interview on the ‘Echoo Room’ podcast with Quincy Jonze, Portable suggested that Fela’s demise was a result of his failure to focus on his personal affairs.
In the same interview, Portable addressed his ongoing online dispute with rapper Zlatan Ibile, labeling him as the catalyst for the rift between himself and music superstar Davido.
He said;
“According to what we were told, if Fela had minded his business a little he would have lived longer. But he was busy fighting for Nigerians wey no fight for their selves.
“I was in America looking for foreign artistes. I was busy displaying my madness online when Davido called me to come. Me and Davido did not quarrel until when the devil Zlatan came.”
