Habeeb Okikiola, better known by his stage name Portable, a rapidly growing artist, complained on Friday that the organizers of the Tinubu inauguration concert gave him N5 million rather than N10 million for his performance.
He said it was the reason why he did not sing at the event held to commemorate President-elect Bola Tinubu’s inauguration on Thursday night in Abuja.
“ZAzuu Them D’n Rip Me oooh Na Me Sing Akoi TINUBU Eja Loni Ibu Give What Belongs To ZAZUU To ZAZUU,” the Zazuu singer captioned videos he posted on his Instagram page.
He said, “Na me sing Akoi Tinubu o,” in one of the videos. No one is going to vote for Obi? Tinubu entered now those useless individuals una go dey perform there, therefore why should I not support Tinubu?
“Na so them call my manager o. Say them want make I come perform for Abuja. Na 10 million them drop o, but na five million go reach portable hand. Na so I no gree, I tear the paper. I delete the number, you dey whine Jesus? Na hin no make me perform for Abuja o.”
Many artistes like Wande Coal, KCee, and others performed at the concert, which Tinubu and his vice, Kashim Shettima, also attended.
