Portable excluded from Canadian show for sacking manager, promoter

Fast-rising Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, well known as Portable, has been removed from the list of artistes to perform at a forthcoming show in Canada.

The show slated for May 22, 2022, was organized by a comedian, MC Morris.

MC Morris, via his Instagram page, announced the exclusion of Portable from the event, saying “a beautiful song without a beautiful attitude is a beautiful nonsense.”

The comedian stated: “For those that are asking why I removed idamu adugboyin from my May 22 show. Talent is not enough, a beautiful song without a beautiful attitude is a beautiful nonsense.

“Two managers in less than a year, even sack innocent DJ that his job na to play song and scratch shaka shaka. I cannot koshi mero am sorry. All transactions canceled and ijoba danku am sorry.”

This comes shortly after the ‘Zazoo Zeh’ crooner sacked his entire crew members including his manager, promoter, and official Disc Jockey, known as DJ Spirit.

Portable, The Star reported on Monday, said he took the decision to sack his crew members over their constant demand for money and always wanting to restrict him from meeting people.

The popular singer said his manager, show promoter, and DJ failed to contribute to the progress of his career.

Portable, who recently secured an endorsement deal worth N50 million with popular socialite and businessman, Obi Iyiegbu, fondly called Obi Cubana, added that he felt cheated out of his hard-earned money because he has been taking care of his crew members.

He further knocked his crew members for portraying ‘fake love’, adding that he now needs a new music team.
