Habeeb Okikiola, better known by his stage name Portable, is a controversial singer who has proclaimed himself a descendant of the late Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
He claimed he accepted the “newborn Fela” moniker his supporters had given him.
In the most recent Curiosity Made Me Ask episode hosted by Bae U Barbi, Portable stated, “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.”
To those still calling him an up-and-coming musician, Portable said, “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 slang is 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.”
