Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has made an observation about music executive Don Jazzy and his former label artists.
In a video on his Instagram page, he noted how many of the artists Don Jazzy signs go downhill after he leaves them. He mentioned names like Korede Bello, Reekado Banks, Dija, and others whose careers are no longer as big as they used to be. He also noted how it is the same for Olamide, as many of his artists, after leaving, go downhill.
Bragging, Portable noted how he doesn’t have a big record label backing him, yet, he continues to win and top charts.
“Eyin fans me, is there any artist in Nigeria wey no big record label sign, that signed himself, sponsors and invests in himself and yet still blew and is now you to London, America and even Canada and has 10 years working permit.
Make una dey respect who don blow dey go. No be by who first blow.
They signed Lil Kesh under Olamide, but after he left, he didn’t blow again. Can’t you work by yourself?
Did you notice that since Olamide helped me and gave me a verse, I am still blowing, and he didn’t sign me?
Why is it that all those artists Don Jazzy signed after he left them don’t have a career again?
Where is Korede Bello and Reekado Banks now?
I invested in myself and blew by myself. I am my own CEO”.
Since his entrance into the industry, there is no doubt that the singer carries a unique grace despite his series of controversies.
Last year, Portable called out Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido to help upcoming artists. Also crying for help, he urged them to help him too, as he pleaded with Davido to keep to his promise and help him rise.
