Speaking on the Echo Room podcast, Portable praised British rapper Skepta for his support, saying Skepta went beyond just a musical collaboration to uplift him.
In comparison, Portable downplayed Olamide’s contribution to his breakout track Zazu, claiming the rapper only delivered a verse without offering further guidance or management.
However, Portable contended that his rise to global fame has placed him beyond Olamide’s reach.
He said, “I can’t drag Skepta because he held my hand, Olamide didn’t hold my hand, he gave me a verse on ‘Zazu’ and left me without any management. He can’t sign me now because I’m now big.”
It may be recalled that Olamide played a significant role in Portable’s rise to fame when he featured on the remix of Portable’s hit song “Zazuu” in 2021.
Olamide’s verse on the song helped bring it to a wider audience and gave Portable the exposure he needed to gain mainstream recognition.
