- Portable has resumed shading his colleague, Asake.
- The singer took a break from calling out Asake and focused on his alleged former record label boss, Olamide, accusing him of using Asake to tackle and sideline him.
- Asake who dropped a single thereafter slammed his detractors with many claiming the diss was at Portable.
Controversial Street-Hop singer Portable has responded to Asake’s newly released single ‘Military,’ which was targeted at those criticising his spoken English and detractors.
Portable in his response has told him to ‘Get a teacher.’
On January 5, 2025, Portable took to his Instagram page to upload a video freestyling a song and slamming his counterpart’s English. He sang in Yoruba:
“If you sing one, I’d sing two. You can’t speak English! Maybe you should get a teacher, olodo. Go and get a teacher, you have money yet you can’t speak English. Where you don go where I never go. What have you achieved that I haven’t?, go and get a teacher. I’m not stupid, I can speak British English well. Olodo rabata.”
Again, the Zazu Zeh singer’s post was met with intense scrutiny regarding his attacks on Asake.
Just the day before, Portable teased a diss track he recorded about Asake and the camouflage outfit he wore at the 67th Grammy Award show.
The Sungba singer 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’ .
Portable slammed him for losing his nomination, singing, “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.”
Asake had also faced some criticism over his spoken English during a red carpet interview at the event, and in the new song he released afterward, he told his detractors to keep saying whatever they wish while also stating that he just doesn’t feel great when speaking English.
