Controversial singer Portable has caused a stir with his recent remarks about the late Afrobeats pioneer, Fela Kuti.
During an interview on the “Echoo Room” podcast with Quincy Jonze, Portable implied that Fela’s passing could have been avoided if he had focused more on his personal affairs rather than engaging in activism for others.
The singer suggested that Fela’s efforts to fight for Nigerians who, according to him, didn’t fight for themselves, might have contributed to his early death.
This bold statement has since sparked widespread discussion on social media, with many users reacting to Portable’s provocative claim about the iconic musician.
The interview also saw Portable touch on his own experiences, mentioning his past encounters with Davido and calling out Zlatan for allegedly causing a rift between them.
Despite the controversy surrounding his comments, many have taken to social media to express their views, with reactions ranging from criticism to outright dismissal of Portable’s claims.
Social media users voiced their opinions, with one calling Portable’s remarks “dumb,” while others chose not to engage further with the singer’s controversial statements.
