Nigerian musician Habeeb Okikiola, known as Portable, has announced a substantial increase in his fees for both collaborations, endorsement deals and appearances.
Speaking from the United Kingdom in a viral video, he stated that his new rate is $10,000 (N8 million) for features and appearances, including music videos, skits, meet and greets, and brand endorsements.
In the video, Portable said, “2024 is my year. I have an update for you. Count yourself lucky if you’ve worked with me before. I now charge $10,000 for features and appearances. Be it an appearance in a music video or skit, it’s $10,000. Even link-up [meet and greet] is $10,000. And brand endorsement deal is also $10,000.”
Portable emphasized his focus on collaborations with those who can afford his rates, expressing a reluctance to work with individuals he described as “poor.”
