Portable, a singer from Nigeria, was honored with the prestigious Artiste of the Year accolade at the recently concluded Golden Stars Award.
In joyous acknowledgment of his recent achievement, the talented artist, known for his hit track ‘Zazoo Zeh,’ posted a video on his Instagram page featuring himself alongside the award.
In the accompanying message, he proudly proclaimed himself as the “new-born Fela.”
”Akoi Grace IKA OF AFRICA ? Kinimah Fajah Trending Artist Of The Year Portable Omolalomi New Born FELA Wahala Musician. Big Thanks to all my lover’s out side ZAzuu Akoi Million Fans @goldenstarsaward Cc. @babyluvgram Akoi Best Artist Manager Of The Year, Na God Dey Run Am.”
Upon receiving the award, Portable expressed gratitude to his fans for their unwavering support and made a firm commitment to secure a Grammy in the future.
It is worth noting that this is not the first instance where Portable has spoken about his aspirations of winning a Grammy.
Last year, Portable, the controversial singer, faced substantial backlash after he went on a rant claiming that his popular single ‘Zazoo Zeh’ deserved a nomination for a Grammy.
This post triggered negative reactions from numerous individuals on social media, who criticized the singer relentlessly.
Daniel Regha, a well-known Twitter influencer, joined the conversation by condemning Portable’s Grammy argument, asserting that his song only appealed to a specific street audience.
Regha further stated that ‘Zazoo Zeh’ was far from being a hit record and lacked the merit for a Headies award nomination, let alone a Grammy victory.
Despite the controversy, Portable has persisted in showcasing his musical talent by releasing solo tracks and collaborating on projects that have garnered significant attention and acclaim.
