Nigerian controversial singer Portable Omolalomi has stirred discussions online after reiterating his fears about poverty in a resurfaced interview video shared on his Instagram page.
In the video, Portable expresses his apprehensions about poverty, emphasizing how he is determined to avoid going broke. He asserts his willingness to do anything legal to earn money, including roles as a content creator, musician, or entertainer, but draws the line at stealing. Portable describes the entertainment industry as highly competitive, where one must fight for oneself, particularly against poverty.
However, his remarks have sparked mixed reactions from social media users. While some commend him for his candidness and determination to succeed, others criticize him for allegedly fighting against those who try to help him.
The comments section reflects a range of opinions, with some users supporting Portable’s stance on poverty and others questioning his methods and behaviour.
Portable gained widespread recognition after collaborating with Olamide and Poco Lee on the song “Zazu Zeh” in December 2021. However, he has since been embroiled in various controversies, including disputes with former managers and collaborators.
