Nigerian singer Portable has publicly expressed his disappointment with rapper Olamide, warning that the music producer will regret not signing him to his record label, YBNL. Portable claims Olamide neglected him, and he believes this decision will ultimately lead to regret. He took to social media to assert his confidence in his abilities and his strong international fan base.
Portable highlighted his recent international recognition, noting support from Skepta, who has helped him in his career. He declared that when his time comes, no one will be able to stop him from achieving success. According to the singer, Olamide’s refusal to sign him was a mistake; he emphasized that he has fought for his rights and that God has sent helpers to aid his progress.
The singer’s comments have sparked interest in the music industry, prompting many to wonder what caused the disagreement between the two artists. Portable’s statement underscores the challenges that upcoming artists face, including neglect and disappointment from established figures. Despite these setbacks, he remains optimistic, reaffirming his belief in himself and his abilities, and pledging to continue shining with the support of his fans and helpers.
The incident also raises questions about the role of record labels in supporting emerging talent. YBNL, founded by Olamide, has launched the careers of several successful Nigerian artists, yet Portable’s experience suggests there may be limitations to the support these labels can offer. His international fan base and recognition attest to his talent and hard work, and his determination to succeed despite obstacles serves as an inspiration to many young artists facing similar challenges.
As the music industry continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how relationships between established and upcoming artists develop, and how record labels respond to the needs of new talent.
