Portable Expresses Outrage As Shallipopi Achieves Top 3 Position On Music Chart

Controversial street singer, Habeeb Okikiola, best known as Portable has called out fellow singer, Shallipopi for supposedly “cheating” his way up to the top three positions on a music chart.

News ABout Nigeria reports that Shallipopi, who was previously arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged involvement in internet fraud, recently released a new song titled “Ex Convict,” which has climbed to the number two spot on the Apple Music Top Song chart.

In response to Shallipopi’s chart success, Portable accused him of using “stream farming,” a method that artificially generates high stream numbers on music charts.

Portable argued that Shallipopi, who he claimed had poor singing skills, is an unknown artist who suddenly rose in the rankings.

While not explicitly naming him, Portable also threw a subtle shade at Asake, implying that the artist currently occupying the number one spot on the music chart may also be involved in similar practices.

In his words;

“Who be that shalli-poppi, they will still carry you. You wey dem just release. How many music you sing? Who sabi your face? You wey dem just release, you con dey top chart. Me wey go prison, I no top chart. You are a thief; you’re using farmer boys. Your face no blow, your voice no sound. Come Zeh nation make I teach you,” he said in part.
