Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has claimed that wealth and fame are beginning to affect the creativity of some of the country’s biggest music stars.
Speaking in a recent video, the Zazu crooner alleged that top artists like Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy and Olamide have become too comfortable with their success, causing them to lose connection with the everyday struggles of ordinary Nigerians.
According to Portable, their songs now focus more on women, luxury, and extravagant lifestyles, rather than delivering messages that inspire, educate, or motivate listeners.
He urged his colleagues to rethink their approach to music, stressing that money should not be the ultimate goal, while encouraging them to make more gospel and conscious songs with meaningful messages.
“I noticed that Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy and Olamide don’t praise God in their songs, they only sing about ladies. Is it because they already have money and they believe they can’t fall? Their songs have no motivation. No sensible lyrics. Just women and vanity.
“Make conscious music. We are tired of all those songs about frivolities. I am also a musician. You all should do better,” Portable stated.
