Portable Clashes With Saheed Osupa: A Battle Of Musical Titans

Portable Fires Back at Saheed Osupa Over Copyright Drama

Let me set the scene for you: Nigerian music just got a little more dramatic. Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, has taken to the internet to voice his frustration with none other than Saheed Osupa, the veteran Fuji musician. What’s the beef? Well, it all started when Portable's song was pulled from Spotify and Apple Music due to copyright infringement complaints by Osupa and his distributors. Now, Portable isn’t one to stay quiet, and he’s letting everyone know how he feels about this move.

A Song That Crossed the Line?

Naija News has learned that Portable used a line from Osupa’s song in one of his tracks. While some might see this as a nod to the veteran artist, Osupa clearly didn’t take it that way. Instead, he had the song removed from major streaming platforms. Portable, understandably upset, unleashed his thoughts in a viral video. He was not holding back, folks.

Portable Calls Out Osupa: “You’re Big for Nothing”

The man behind the hit “Zazu Zeh” isn’t shy about calling out his senior colleague. In his viral video, Portable went hard, blasting Osupa for his actions. He accused the veteran musician of being overly protective of his work, especially when compared to another artist, Pasuma, who Portable claims has been far more supportive. Here’s what Portable had to say:

“Saheed Osupa, you’re big for nothing. If you can’t embrace me, I will drag you. You sing Fuji while I sing hip hop. The same way I used a line from your music is the same way I removed three verses from Pasuma. But Pasuma never reported my song. Keep your distance if you can’t embrace me like the way Pasuma adopted me like his own child. Osupa is a good man.”

Portable’s Music Sparks Controversy in Another Arena

But wait, there’s more! Portable’s knack for stirring up drama doesn’t stop with Saheed Osupa. In another twist, content creator Ganiyu Kehinde Morufu, better known as Ijoba Lande, has taken issue with Portable for composing a song about his personal family scandal. If you’ve been following this story, you’ll recall that Ijoba Lande accused his estranged wife, Dara, of infidelity and claimed to have evidence of her affairs with multiple men, including his colleague, Baba Tee.

Portable decided to turn this scandal into music, which didn’t sit well with Lande. In fact, Lande was so upset that he vowed Portable would “pay” for mocking his personal life. In a video message shared on his social media page, Lande expressed his outrage:

“Portable, I see all the nonsense you’re doing. You’re using my life story to sing. You will pay for it. When they slept with one of your wives the other time, you were crying all over the Internet. Don’t worry, you will pay for your crimes someday.”

The Takeaway

As the music industry continues to evolve, so do the rivalries and controversies that come with it. Whether it’s Portable clashing with Saheed Osupa over copyright issues or composing songs about family scandals, one thing is clear: Nigerian music is never short on drama. So, buckle up, because it looks like there’s more to come in this ongoing saga!
