The ongoing social media feud between controversial singer Portable and his colleague Davido has taken a dramatic turn.
Portable has once again directed sharp criticism at Davido after the latter unfollowed him on Instagram. The rift between the two artists began after Portable publicly accused Davido of giving him misleading advice during their recent dinner in the United States. This latest episode adds fuel to the fire of their already heated exchange.
Portable, who is known for his unfiltered remarks, claimed that Davido, who is signed with Sony Music, advised him against joining the same label. Instead, Davido urged Portable to sign with Empire, a different record label. Portable interpreted this suggestion as a move to undermine his aspirations. He pointed out that while he, like Davido, dreams of winning a Grammy, Davido was steering him towards a label that might not facilitate such an achievement.

Portable’s allegations didn’t sit well with Davido, leading to the DMW boss unfollowing him on Instagram. This action only intensified the controversy, prompting a strong response from Portable.
In a passionate video message shared on his Instagram page, Portable expressed his frustration and insisted that he does not need Davido’s followership or support to succeed in the music industry or to win a Grammy. He implied that Davido’s decision to unfollow him was because he no longer found him useful.
“They tried to destroy me and quickly unfollowed me because I stopped being beneficial to them. Whether you help me or not, I will do my tour; whether you follow me or not, I will collect Grammy,” Portable declared in his message. He emphasized his independence and determination to achieve his goals without relying on Davido’s endorsement or assistance.
Portable’s defiant stance has resonated with many of his fans, who admire his tenacity and self-reliance. However, the ongoing conflict has also sparked a broader discussion within the music community about loyalty, mentorship, and the cutthroat nature of the industry.
