Controversial Nigerian artiste, Portable has claimed that disloyalty contributed to the failure of some artistes previously signed to labels owned by Olamide, Don Jazzy, Davido and other established artistes.
He made the claim during a recent appearance on Isbae U’s “Curiosity Made Me Ask” podcast.
He maintained that senior colleagues – Davido, Olamide, Wizkid and Burna Boy – were not blocking other artistes from making progress in the industry as claimed in some quarters.
Speaking in pidgin, Portable said, “Dem say people wey comot Olamide label no blow again. Dem say people wey comot for Don Jazzy abi Davido label no blow again. Dem no dey loyal ni.”
However, Portable said he was not being given due recognition for his achievements in the industry.
He insisted that Olamide’s music career was not reckoned with internationally until their collaboration on his “Zazoo Zeh” single.

He also accused another colleague, Zlatan Ibile, of allegedly blocking his access to and potential collaboration with Davido.
He said when he eventually met Davido, the “If” crooner asked him why he featured Dammy Krane in one of his songs.
Davido and Dammy Krane are known to have a frosty relationship in the music industry.
Dammy Krane was arrested in 2024 and subsequently apologised for making false claims about Davido.
Portable said his public persona is a ruse, noting that his music career would continue to flourish irrespective of public opinion about his character.
“Na wetin I like I dey do. Dis thing wey I dey use make money, na him I dey do,” Portable said.
