Loquacious singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus a.k.a Portable has rapped his colleagues over their unwillingness to lend a helping hand to those who are still struggling to find their feet in the music industry.
Portable boasted that he has done for others much than the likes of Olamide, Don Jazzy, Wizkid, and Davido.
“Many Nigerian celebrities don’t post their fans even if they dance to their songs or promote them. But I repost every positive video about me.
“Even with your money, many celebrities won’t let you feature them as an upcoming artist. But I help people freely. I have helped more people in the music industry than Don Jazzy, Olamide, Wizkid, and Davido.”
Portable described “help” as providing comprehensive support, including shelter, clothing, food, and studio sessions, emphasizing that this goes beyond simple business transactions.
“Help is when you see a homeless person and take them home, shelter them, clothe and feed them. You also take them to their first studio session and pay for it. Anything other than that, you are just doing business. A lot of the people claiming that they are helping others in the music industry are just doing business,” he added.
He slammed celebrities who exploit others for personal gain and tag them “ungrateful” when they seek independence.
“Most of the time, when the artists they are using for business decide to be independent or move forward, they label them ungrateful. How are they ungrateful? You only used them for business”, he concluded.
