Controversial singer, Habeeb Okikiola better known as Portable has lashed out at artists who performed at President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s pre-inauguration.
In a video making rounds on the internet, the fast-rising singer revealed why he didn’t perform at the concert.
According to him, organizers of the concert had reached out to him and had offered to pay him only N5 million which he boldly turned down.
Portable claimed that the organizers were given N10 million to pay artists but they reduced his cut.
Blowing hot, Portable noted how he was the only artiste that was campaigning for Tinubu, yet he wasn’t able to perform.
“Don’t worry, that’s how you guys start oooo. I supported Tinubu when you guys were supporting Obi. Now Tinubu entered, and those useless people are performing at his concert. Am I not the one who promoted Tinubu? They called my manager that I should come and perform in Abuja, they said they dropped N10 million for the artiste’s performance but N5 million would only get to my hands. I turned it down, tore the paper, and deleted their number. No be me be star. That’s why I didn’t perform in Abuja for Tinubu. You are going to celebrate Tinubu, do you love Tinubu? Did those musicians post Tinubu? Did the vote for Tinubu”.
Nigerians, you all should agree for Tinubu, so everything can go well’ – Portable warns
Recall that last year while endorsing Gboyega Oyetola’s re-election for Governor of Osun State, Portable had urged Nigerians to vote for Tinubu.
He asked Nigerians to vote for the Bola Tinubu, during the presidential election.
In a video he posted on his Instagram page, Portable urged his fans in Osun to vote for the governor, as well as vote for Tinubu.
Speaking in Yoruba, Portable said, “4+4, Akoi Oyetola, my father is here.”
He also added, “Nigerians you all should agree for Tinubu, so everything can go well”.
Portable celebrates Bola Tinubu’s win with freestyle
Following Tinubu’s victory, Portable did a special freestyle hailing him.
On his social media account, the popular music artist known as Zazu expressed his jubilation enthusiastically lauding the triumph of the All Progressive Congress (APC)’s candidate.
This gesture is not the first indication of Portable’s unwavering support for Bola Tinubu, and his latest demonstration only reinforced his standpoint.
As the controversial singer drove around Lagos in his new car, he recorded himself cheering and saluting the newly elected President.
