Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable, has accused his colleague, David Adeleke, fondly called Davido of giving him bad advice during their recent dinner in the United States.
Portable claimed that Davido, who is signed to Sony Music, advised him against joining the label and suggested he sign with Empire instead.
Portable alleged that this advice was unfair, noting that he aspires to win a Grammy, but fears that joining Empire might not help him achieve that goal.
During a recent Instagram Live session, the singer said: “You are signed to Sony Music, but you’re giving me bad advice in America to get signed to Empire and collect advance. The same Grammy you’re chasing is what I’m also chasing.”
The singer expressed a preference for helpers who assist him sincerely, avoid listening to gossip, and refrain from giving bad advice.
“Olamide helped me directly, Skepta gave me a verse, money, shoes, clothes and still linked me up with big fashion brands. That’s the kind of helper I want from God not someone who will be following mouth,” Portable said.
