Controversial Nigerian artist Habeeb Okikiola, better known by his stage name Portable, has explained why he declined to take the stage at Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Concert on Thursday in Abuja.
In popular videos shared on social media on Friday, Portable disclosed that the Tinubu inauguration event organizers gave him N5 million instead of the N10 million he was paid for his performance.
Sharing videos on his Instagram page, the Zazuu crooner said, “ZAzuu Them Dõn Rip Me oooh Na Me Sing Akoi TINUBU. Eja Loni Ibu. Give What Belongs To ZAZUU To ZAZUU.”
“Na me sing Akoi Tinubu o. No be Obi una dey vote for? Tinubu enters now those useless people went to perform there, no be me promote Tinubu?
“That was what they called my manager. Saying they want me to perform in Abuja. And I was paid 10 million, but na five million, go reach my hand. That was why I disagreed, tore the paper and deleted the number. You dey whine, Jesus? Na hin no make me perform for Abuja o.”
Tinubu and his vice, Kashim Shettima, both attended the concert, which featured performances by a variety of performers, including Wande Coal, KCee, and others.
