Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, has made headlines with his latest demands for collaboration. The artist, famous for his hit song “Zazu”, recently announced that any of his colleagues wishing to feature him in their music would have to meet two unusual requirements: licking his foot and buying him a car.
Portable’s bold statement came as he celebrated the success of his collaboration with British-Nigerian rapper, Skepta, on the track “Tony Montana”. Despite facing criticism from some quarters, Portable expressed gratitude towards Skepta for his support, highlighting the international star’s willingness to work with him.
During a recent Instagram live session with fans, Portable addressed the controversy surrounding his collaboration criteria, stating, “People talked down on me but Skepta helped me. If you want to feature me on a song, you will have to lick my foot and buy me a car.”
The collaboration with Skepta marks a significant milestone for Portable, as “Tony Montana” has become his first number one song on Apple Music Nigeria since the success of “Zazu”. The artist’s unconventional approach to collaboration has sparked debate within the music industry, with fans and fellow artists alike sharing mixed reactions to his demands.
As Portable continues to push boundaries with his music and persona, his latest statement is sure to keep the spotlight firmly on him. Whether this bold move will pave the way for more unconventional collaborations remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – Portable is not afraid to make headlines and break the mold in the music world.
