Nigerian Singer Habbeb Okikiola, known as Portable recently went on the radio to explain the reasons behind his continuing conflict with Seyi Vibez, another musician.
In “The Honest Bunch,” a podcast by The Interview Of Nedu, Portable clarified the events leading up to their public altercation, blaming Seyi Vibez’s apparent selfishness as the culprit.
Known for his contentious aesthetic, Portable spoke up to listeners about his tense friendship with Seyi Vibez on the episode of the enlightening podcast.
He recalled an event from their earlier days in the music business that seems to have set the stage for their later conflict.
According to Portable’s recollection, the rift began when Seyi Vibez approached him to perform at his show, just as Portable was gaining a foothold in the industry.
In an unexpected display of camaraderie, Portable claimed that he willingly accepted Seyi Vibez’s invitation without charging a performance fee. This gesture was intended to promote goodwill and unity among up-and-coming artists.
However, as the tides turned in their careers, Portable found himself in the position to extend a similar invitation to Seyi Vibez. Seizing the opportunity to foster collaboration and mutual support, Portable reached out to Seyi Vibez, inviting him to perform at his own show.
Much to Portable’s dismay, his invitation was met with silence, leaving the singer bewildered and hurt by the perceived snub.
The aftermath of this unanswered invitation, Portable revealed, marked the beginning of their public feud. The Zazu singer expressed his disappointment over what he saw as Seyi Vibez’s refusal to reciprocate the goodwill that he had shown earlier in their careers.
