In a recent turn of events, Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable, has taken to social media to express his disappointment in fellow artist Davido for allegedly giving him ‘bad advice’ during a dinner in the United States.
Portable, best known for his hit song ‘Zazu’, revealed that Davido, who is signed to Sony Music, advised him against joining the label and instead suggested that he sign with Empire. The singer accused Davido of misleading him, claiming that he too aspires to win a Grammy but feels that joining Empire may not help him achieve that goal.
During an Instagram Live session, Portable shared his frustrations, saying, “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.”
