“I am the new Fela”– Portable reveals.

Popular Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Portable, has declared himself a follower of the late Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.

Portable acknowledged that his fans have given him the title “newborn Fela,” and he accepts it.

Speaking on the Bae U Barbi show, Curiosity Made Me Ask, Portable clarified, “I did not label myself as the ‘Newborn Fela.’ It was my fans who bestowed this title upon me. As an artist, I am grateful for my supportive fan base who have elevated me to this level.”

“Normally, you have to be bold, a lion don’t fear to walk alone.”

“To those still calling him an up-and-coming musician, Portable said, “Which superstar do you know that is bigger than me in Nigeria? I am the one they are talking about now: musician that is trending. My talk is trending, my slangs are trending, my movement is trending, my dressing is trending.

“Last year, I was upcoming this year, I am also upcoming. I will be up and coming everyday. Coming with new glory everyday. Newborn Fela. Every year is my year.”
