Controversial singer Portable has drawn the attention of music enthusiasts to the streaming success of fast-rising singer Crown Uzama, popularly known as Shallipopi. The Zazuu act on social media alleged that the young talent faked his way to the top of the Apple Music Nigeria chart.
Shallipopi, who was just released from prison after being caught and convicted of online fraud, released the song Ex-Convict. The tune quickly became number two on the international streaming app, triggering Portable.
He said that Shallipopi employed a streaming farm to quickly get his song to the top of the charts. He also accused the aspiring singer of being a crook with no good voice for singing.
Portable went on to compare himself to the Elon Musk crooner. “Who be that shalli-poppi, they will still carry you. You wey dem just release. How many music you sing? Who sabi your face? You wey dem just release, you con dey top chart. Me wey go prison, I no top chart.
You are a thief; you’re using farmer boys. Your face no blow, your voice no sound. Come Zeh nation make I teach you,” he said in part.
I love portable shall I know what is trying to achieve he want to stay relevant.
