Habeeb Okikiola, better known by his stage name Portable, is a controversial musician who calls himself the “street king” and has once again vented his displeasure on social media. This time, he is furious at well-known rapper Vector.
Tribune Online noted that the argument started after Vector used “Zazu,” a well-known name from Portable’s popular song, in a recent song preview.
Portable, who is well-known for his outspoken online persona, was offended by the allusion.
“Mr Vector, take it easy o,” Portable said in a scathing video that was uploaded online. “You mentioned my name in your song, instead of you coming and getting lyrics from me, you are now using my name to promote your new song.” Portable’s tone was a mix of annoyance and condescension.
The self-proclaimed celebrity didn’t end there. “Remember, I am a superstar, and I control things you can’t control,” he declared, continuing to impose his power over the music industry.
With his proclamation, Portable is ostensibly seeking to reinforce his standing and power inside the sector and establish himself as the guardian of street cred.
Portable has a history of getting into internet arguments with other artists.
Several scandals and public disputes have dogged his ascent to prominence, but they have only made him more notorious.
But Vector, his most recent target, is a well-liked hip-hop artist from Nigeria who is renowned for his skillful lyrics and extensive career.
Vector has not yet addressed Portable’s outburst in public.
The rapper might decide to address the matter in his songs rather than participate in a back-and-forth on social media, given that he is frequently composed and clear in his conversations.
However, their supporters are excitedly awaiting his response, wondering if this would turn into a full-fledged poetic brawl.
The ramifications of this conflict have generated a lot of discussion in the music community.
While some fans regard Portable’s response as a calculated attempt to maintain relevance, others take it as a sincere complaint over what they see to be disrespect.
A music enthusiast stated that Vector’s reference to “Zazu” might be taken in a number of different ways, and it’s unclear if that was intended as a subtle reference or as a tribute.
Another added that Portable has to be taught the proper ways to use social media and that he is quickly turning into a noise maker who wants to capitalize on whatever is popular in order to get attention to himself.
Additionally, it was discovered that Vector and Portable both have sizable fan bases that are currently caught in the crossfire of this unforeseen feud.
