Controversial singer Portable has voiced his dissatisfaction with ace rapper Olamide over what he described as limited support during his breakout moment in the music industry.
In a recent interview on EchoRoom, the ‘Zazu’ crooner revealed that while he is grateful to Olamide for featuring on the 2021 hit track Zazu Zeh, he felt abandoned afterward.

According to Portable, Olamide’s support ended with a verse, and he received no further assistance in terms of management or guidance.
“I can’t drag Skepta because he hold my hand, Olamide didn’t hold my hand,” Portable said.
“He gave me a verse on ‘Zazu’ and left me without a management. He can’t sign me now because I’m now a global superstar,” he added.
Portable praised British-Nigerian rapper Skepta, claiming the international artist played a more impactful role in his career beyond just music. He suggested that Skepta’s influence helped open doors for him on a global scale.
This isn’t the first time Portable has publicly taken jabs at Olamide. In the past, he accused the YBNL boss of allegedly snatching his producer, dancer, and promoter shortly after the viral success of Zazu Zeh. Olamide, however, has consistently refrained from responding to the accusations or engaging in public spats.
Despite his criticisms, Portable acknowledged Olamide’s contribution to his initial fame but insisted that he expected more hands-on support from the music mogul.
