Popular singer Portable has stirred reactions online with a provocative statement about the late Afrobeats icon Fela Kuti. During a recent appearance on the “Echoo Room” podcast with Quincy Jonze, Portable claimed that Fela’s early death was due to his involvement in matters beyond his personal life.
According to Portable, Fela could have lived longer had he focused on his own affairs instead of championing causes for Nigerians. He remarked, “If Fela had minded his business a little, he would have lived longer. He was busy fighting for Nigerians who didn’t fight for themselves.”
Portable’s bold comments have sparked widespread debate on social media, with many users criticizing him for his remarks about the legendary musician.
One user, @abiolaofficial1, reacted, “It’s dumb how you want to drag and talk about everyone, yet you still want them to help you! God is your strength, Portable.” Another, @emperhor_cash2, commented, “As soon as I saw the video, I knew he was up to his usual crazy antics.”
Despite the controversy, Portable also mentioned his interactions with fellow artists, stating, “I was in America looking for foreign artists when Davido called me. We didn’t quarrel until the devil Zlatan got involved.”
The social media reactions continue to pour in, as users weigh in on Portable’s latest controversial statements.
