Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has publicly accused his colleague Davido of giving him detrimental advice during their recent meeting in the United States.
Portable alleged that Davido, who is signed to Sony Music, discouraged him from joining the label, instead recommending Empire.
The “Zazu” crooner expressed his suspicion of foul play, suggesting that Davido’s advice may be motivated by a desire to undermine his own chances of winning a Grammy Award.
Portable stated that he is also striving for Grammy recognition, and believes that signing with Empire may hinder his ability to achieve this goal.
He said:
“You are signed to Sony Music, but you’re giving me bad advice in America to get signed to Empire and collect advance. The same Grammy you’re chasing is what I’m also chasing.”
“Olamide helped me directly, Skepta gave me a verse, money, shoes, clothes and still linked me up with big fashion brands. That’s the kind of helper I want from God not someone who will be following mouth,” Portable said.
