In a recent interview on Echo Room, Nigerian street-hop sensation Portable has ignited fresh controversy by labeling Zlatan as an “upcoming artist.” 🎤 Portable expressed that Zlatan has yet to gain recognition among wealthy individuals, and his music style doesn’t position him as a top-tier artist. 😱
The ‘Zaazu’ crooner shared a story where a wealthy car dealer, one of his affluent friends, advised him to distance himself from Zlatan, dismissing the Zanku star as someone trying to gain relevance by associating with Portable’s fame. 🚗
This bold statement has caused a stir online, with fans of both artists passionately defending their favorites. 🤔 Some agree with Portable, claiming Zlatan still has a long way to go, while others are calling out Portable for disrespecting a fellow artist.
He said, “Zlatan is an up-and-coming artist. There was a man I got a car from. I decided to change my car for my birthday, from one of the people I get cars from. He said I shouldn’t have answered Zlatan. He said Zlatan wanted to chase clout with my name. Then he said he didn’t even know his songs and that he just started hearing his name.
“A lot of wealthy people don’t know some of these artists’ lyrics. What are they singing? Are those songs? You cannot do call and response. Is that music? Are you joking?
