Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has faced backlash online after dissing Asake, who recently lost out at the 67th Grammy award show.
On February 4, 2025, the artiste teased a diss track he recorded about Asake’s loss and the camouflage outfit he wore at the award show.
The Sungba crooner lost to Tems who won the Best African Music Performance category over Yemi Alade’s ‘Tomorrow’, Chris Brown’s ‘Sensational’ feat Davido & Lojay, and Burna Boy’s ‘Higher’
Taking to Instagram, Portable sang, “You wore an army uniform to receive a Grammy, your papa no be army. You wanted to win a Grammy but they didn’t give you one.”
Meanwhile, netizens were not fond of Portable’s choice to diss Asake and expressed their annoyance in the comment section, calling him a ‘hater’ and ‘jealous.’
Some of the reactions read: “Whoever thinks this guy isn’t drowning in envy is just blind to the truth. This isn’t criticism; it’s pure, bitter hate. Asake never begged for his greatness; he earned it. And no matter how hard you try, you will never touch even the edge of his success, not in 50 years, not in a lifetime, because hate will never take you where talent and hard work can.
“If “HATER” was a person, portable Zukwanuike 🙄”
“At least he go Grammy, you which one you go eh portable 😂”
“At least he was nominated, portable even Asaba award you no get… abegi rest ijn!
“The jealousy in portable stinks so bad abeg”
“Something is seriously wrong with this guy and you people think it’s cruise 😂😂
