Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has taken a swipe at fellow artiste Mavo, describing him as “untalented.”
Portable made the remarks in a video shared on his social media page, where he accused the Shakabulizzy crooner of relying heavily on auto-tune rather than real musical ability.
Sharing a clip from Mavo’s live performance, the Zazu hitmaker argued that the performance exposed what he described as a lack of talent.
According to Portable, even his own signees perform better than Mavo.
“Mavo uses auto-tune. I’ve been seeing celebrities associating and collaborating with you,” he said.
“You now went to do a live band. Is that how to perform? Even my signees sing better than you.
“Your live performance is shambolic. That’s not how to use a live band. I blame the superstars who overlook real talents and support overhyped, wack artists.”
As of the time of filing this report, Mavo has not responded to Portable’s criticism.
