Published

on

Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, commonly known as Portable, has declared that he doesn’t view himself as being in competition with his colleague, Kizz Daniel.

However, he suggested that the ‘Twe Twe’ crooner might be the one vying against him.

In a recent video message shared on his social media, Portable asserted that his current popularity should be evident to fans, emphasizing that common sense would indicate he is the current sensation.

He further reminisced about his journey from the streets to fame, recalling how he used to perform for as little as N200 at events before receiving support from the rapper.

He said, “Kizz Daniel is the one dragging position with me. Some fans don’t have brain, if you have brain you will understand I’m the one reigning. Kizz Daniel and I dominating the chart now. Any song we drop, goes to number one.

“I would have still been on the streets if not for Olamide, I went to London to collaborate with the best rapper in the UK and it’s all thanks to Olamide. He told me that I was gonna make it even when nobody believed in me. And I have made it bigger than I ever thought.

“Olamide is a boss and I respect him so much. He sponsored me without asking for anything in return. Olamide is the only guy in the music industry that showed me love.

“Olamide paved the way for me, and God used him to bless me. I’m from the streets, I used to perform for N200 but I thank God for sending Olamide to me.” he added

Portable also collaborated with UK rapper Skepta on a track titled “Tony Montana.”

The song achieved significant milestones in the careers of the artists involved, marking Portable’s first number-one song on the Spotify and Apple Music charts for Nigeria, as well as earning him a debut on the UK Chart.

Additionally, Skepta and Jae 5 secured their first number-one position on the Spotify Top Songs Daily chart for Nigeria with this hit song.

This was revealed by the “Shake Body” singer on a recent Drip Check show.

“I have dated over 100 women.”

Skales explained that he was a toxic boyfriend to most of the women he dated earlier in his career because he was young and reckless.

“I did a lot of childish things. What do you expect from a teenager who is famous and has access to everything including women? There are a lot of good women that I have lost because of my childish behaviour. But because of experience, I’m becoming a better man now.”

I Got The Concept For “Men Are Crazy” From My Hubby – Simi

Published

on

The controversial song “Men Are Crazy,” which is performed by popular singer Simisola Kosoko, often known as Simi, was inspired by her husband, Adekunle Gold, according to her revelation.

Meanwhile there were differing opinions on Simi’s most recent single, “Men Are Crazy,” which included Tiwa Savage.

A lot of male social media users criticised the singers for the song’s patronising tone.

Simi claimed that the song’s concept originated with her husband, singer Adekunle Gold, during an appearance on Angela Yee’s podcast, “Way Up.”

She said, “My husband gave me the idea for my song, ‘Men Are Crazy’. He was like, ‘Babe, how about we do a song and you say men are crazy but I still want one in my bed?’

“I was like, ‘Oh yeah, no one is going to see that coming from me. So I made that song. I had actually finished the song, I did two verses but I felt something was missing. It just hit me and I was like, ‘I will love to have Tiwa on the song.’ We [our music] don’t generally go in the same direction but I was like, it would be so nice to find that balance and do something that would bring our synergies together. So I sent it to Tiwa and she did her verse and we shot the video together.”

Femi Adebayo assign as Star Time Ambassador

Actor Femi Adebayo of Nollywood has voiced concern about the rise in film piracy incidents in the nation.

Adebayo took to his instagram profile, @femiadebayosalami, on Tuesday, to tell his journey and how he recently came out successful in his fight against piracy on one of his movies.

He pointed out that the unlawful actions of movie pirates had prevented the film industry’s payout from being maximised.

Adebayo said: “The Nigerian film industry has experienced exponential growth over the years, but we haven’t been able to maximise the true dividends of this business because of dare devil pirates who benefit where they didn’t sow.

“This is a major reason why investors find it hard to commit their funds to filmmakers. However, through persistence and the use of the legal framework covering intellectual property, we can bring their activities to a gradual halt.

“Several times, I have been a victim of movie pirates and I never spared them. I recently concluded a legal battle with a notable media company that owns a big radio station and also engages in Youtube content distribution.

“During the cinema run of “Survival of Jelili” in 2019, my movie was gathering good numbers at that time. They decided to use my movie poster and title to promote a movie on their platform, thereby deceiving fans and diverting revenue accrued to me.

“It took 3 years, but my trust in the legal and justice system remained unwavering. With the dedication of our legal team, Bola Adebowale & Co Legal Practitioners, who are seasoned professionals with wealth of experience in handling such cases.

“They presented undeniable evidence, put up a strong argument, and took the case to trial. Their promptness, efficiency, and attention to detail played a huge part in the direction of the case. We won and were awarded a total of twenty-five five million Naira.

“This isn’t just my win as a filmmaker and content producer, but a win for all of Nollywood.”

Filmmakers, in his opinion, need to be prepared to combat piracy and theft of intellectual property on all fronts.

“Every win brings us closer to protecting and getting the true economic value of our works,” he said
