Olamide Helped Me After I Became Popular, Says Portable

Street singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has found immense satisfaction in the success of his hit track ‘Zazuu’ and the remarkable opportunities it has brought him.

He proudly acknowledges that his song ‘Zazu’ gained worldwide recognition even before Olamide joined him for the remix in 2021.

Portable added that Olamide wouldn’t have collaborated with him if he hadn’t already attained a level of popularity after ‘Zazu’ went viral.

Speaking on the latest episode of the Bae U Barbi show, Curiosity Made Me Ask, Portable refutes claims that he’s solely riding on the success of ‘Zazu’ since hitting stardom.

He emphasized that he has since released other chart-topping tracks and two albums, showcasing his versatility and continuous creative output.

He said: “Since when we did drop ‘Zazu’ with Baddo [Olamide], that one has gone. I am the one they [fans] are listening to, I am dropping back to back. If you don’t drop again, they will forget you. If I don’t drop again, they won’t hear me. That is why I am putting in more energy.

“It is because I was popular that made Olamide help me. If I wasn’t popular, they won’t help me. ‘Zazu’ blew worldwide. My freestyle went viral.”
