Portable resumes dragging Davido, claims he ripped and used him to trend

Controversial Nigerian music star, Portable has resumed dragging his senior colleague Davido, with claims that he ripped him and used him to trend on social media.

It would be recalled that Davido had hosted Portable at a dinner in Atlanta, US on 7 June, where Portable, known for his hit “Zazu,” and Davido ate together and discussed their careers.

Portable claimed that Davido advised him against signing with Sony Music, a major record label, suggesting he join Empire instead.

After the dinner, Portable accused Davido of giving him “bad advice.”

The “Brotherhood” crooner argued that Davido’s recommendation to sign with Empire rather than Sony Music was not in his best interest, especially considering his Grammy aspirations.

Portable expressed doubt about Davido’s motives, implying that Davido, who is signed with Sony Music, might have ulterior motives that could hinder Portable’s success, including winning prestigious awards like the Grammy.

In a video shared on his Instagram story, Portable said, “Davido advised me not to sign with Sony Music but with Empire.

“You are signed to Sony Music, but you’re giving me bad advice in America to get signed to Empire & collect advance. The same Grammy you’re chasing is what I’m also chasing.

“How can you advise me to choose a label that might not help me win a Grammy? Are you trying to sabotage my career?” the singer queried.

In response to these accusations, Davido unfollowed Portable on Instagram on Thursday.

The move was seen by many as a direct response to Portable’s public allegations and the ensuing drama.

Portable did not take Davido’s unfollowing lightly.

He quickly took to social media to voice his displeasure, declaring that he did not need Davido’s support or followership to succeed.

In a video message on his Instagram page, Portable asserted his independence and determination to succeed without relying on others in the industry.

“They tried to destroy me and quickly unfollowed me because I stopped being beneficial to them”.

“Whether you help me or not, I will do my tour; whether you follow me or not, I will collect Grammys,” Portable said painfully.

He suggested that Davido only maintain relationships that were advantageous to him and discard those that were no longer beneficial.

In a recent video online, Portable claims that Davido ripped him and only used him to trend.

According to him, Davido should have given him a feature rather than ripping him and using him to chase clout.

He opined that he is a ‘superstar’ and Davido ought to have given him some cash, $10K for the shots.

“Na una dey trend me? Na una dey post me? Shey na una dey shoot my video? Na una dey promote me? For where you dey for your house, ask your neighbours, dem know me nau. I dey trend more than you nau. All your money, all your packaging, everything, forget it! I’m not a failure, Bro! I’m not a failure! I’m a winner, I’m not a failure. If you try me, you go lose. I will never mingle with failures, you are a failure.

“Davido ripped me, you invited me out for a dinner, you posted me but you didn’t give me a verse, you didn’t give me money, you just used me to trend. $10,000 wouldn’t have been bad if you gave me that at least,” he said in part.
