Controversial street-hop artist Portable has finally put his cards on the table, explaining why he repeatedly targets Afrobeats heavyweights Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy and Olamide in his public outbursts.
In a video posted to his Instagram stories on Friday, August 28, 2026, the Zazu crooner admitted that his constant jabs at the four superstars are not rooted in beef but in a desire to get close to them.

The Zeh Nation boss also took a moment to genuinely commend their influence, noting that they actively use their global platforms to boost younger and lesser-known acts.
Portable takes a dig at Fuji icons Pasuma, Kwam1 and Saheed Osupa
Portable drew a sharp contrast between the Afrobeats stars and leading Fuji musicians, singling out K1 De Ultimate (Kwam1), Wasiu Alabi Pasuma and Saheed Osupa.
The singer argued that unlike their Afrobeats counterparts, these Fuji veterans are not doing enough to bring up emerging artists within the genre.
In his words:
"If you see me drag Olamide, the reason is because I want to chill with him. If you see me drag Wizkid, I want to chill with him. If you see me drag Davido, I want to spend his money. Davido, Burna Boy, Olamide and Wizkid are trying; they blow people up, but Fuji Artistes like K1 De Ultimate, Pasuma and Osupa Saheed aren't lifting Fuji underground artistes up."
The video surfaced just hours after Portable called out the same quartet for abandoning popular Nigerian dancer Poco Lee, who is currently facing multiple charges in the United Kingdom.

"Portable style too plenty to chase clout and audience, different reasons by one man to drag different artistes"
@Gabmetax shared:
"Everybody gets their time. Nobody can stay on top forever na turn by turn... But if we're being honest, if we can get like 10 OBOs in the industry, the whole industry will move forward."
@Opesco90 pushed back on the Pasuma criticism:
"You can't say that about PASO sha. Go and ask Tiri leather, Taye currency and small doctor."
@omotosh06744125 agreed, adding:
"Pasuma helped Taye Currency, Small Doctor, Tiri Leather.. at least"

Portable explains why he walked out of the ring in match against Charles Okocha
