Nigerian street-pop singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has claimed that no artiste in the country can win a Grammy Award without featuring him on a song.
Portable made the assertion during an interview on Rubbin’ Minds on Channels Television on Sunday.
He described himself as the “new-born Fela” and said his influence could help artistes secure Grammy recognition.
“If any artiste wants to collect Grammy in this Nigeria, if you don’t feature me, you’d not collect Grammy. If you want to collect a Grammy nomination, come and feature me. I am the new face—new born Fela.
