Portable said …
“I didn’t give myself the title, ‘Newborn Fela.’ My fans gave it to me. You know I have a lot of fans, my fans brought me to this point. “Normally, you have to be bold, a lion don’t fear to walk alone.”
The Zazoo star also addressed the incorrect description by some people who refer to him as a rising musician. He maintained that he is one of the greatest musicians there is in Nigeria.
“Which superstar do you know that is bigger than me in Nigeria? I am the one they are talking about now: musician that is trending. My talk is trending, my slangs are trending, my movement is trending, my dressing is trending.
“Last year, I was upcoming this year, I am also upcoming. I will be up and coming everyday. Coming with new glory everyday. Newborn Fela. Every year is my year,” he said.
