Nigerian street-hop artist Portable has recently voiced his dissatisfaction with Afrobeats superstar Davido.
In a candid interview, Portable alleged that Davido took advantage of his rising popularity for personal gain.
According to Portable, their collaboration and association were primarily driven by Davido’s desire to maintain his relevance in the ever-competitive music industry.
Portable claimed that Davido’s interactions with him were superficial, aimed solely at leveraging Portable’s unique style and growing fanbase to create buzz around Davido’s projects.
Despite the public appearance of camaraderie and mutual respect, Portable feels that he was merely a tool in Davido’s strategy to trend on social media and within the music scene.
This revelation has sparked discussions among fans and industry insiders.
Some supporters of Portable believe that emerging artists often face exploitation by more established stars, who capitalize on their fresh appeal without offering genuine support in return.
Others argue that collaborations, even if strategic, can be mutually beneficial and part of the industry’s dynamics.
As the story unfolds, it raises questions about the ethics of artist collaborations and the power dynamics within the music industry.
Portable’s bold statement reflects a broader narrative of upcoming artists striving for recognition while navigating the complexities of fame and collaboration with industry giants like Davido.
