Nigerian singer, Abiola Ahmed Akinbiyi, popularly known as Bella Shmurda, has expressed his reservations about collaborating with his controversial colleague, Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable.
Naija News reports that Portable has been embroiled in several controversies since gaining prominence with his hit song ‘ZaZu Zeh’ in 2021.
His latest controversy is his online feud with Davido and Zlatan Ibile.
While Portable accused Davido of giving him bad advice during their recent dinner in the United States, he claimed that Zlatan ruined his relationship with the DMW boss.
In a recent interview with Max FM, Shmurda said he and Portable would have good sonic chemistry, but he is sceptical about collaborating with him because he is not ready for any problem.
He said, “I feel me and Portable will blend on a song but I am not ready for wahala [problem] right now.”
‘Olamide Has Helped Me More Than My Mother’
Meanwhile, Bella Shmurda, has expressed gratitude to veteran Nigerian rapper cum YBNL Nation boss, Olamide, over the contributions made to his musical career.
Naija News recalls that the singer gained prominence after he featured Olamide in the remix of his song’ Vision 2020,’ which became a hit.
Speaking on the latest episode of the London 90 podcast, the ‘Adura’ crooner said that if his children asked who helped him, he would mention Olamide before his mother.
Shmurda noted that Olamide is the only successful African artiste who still supports African award shows.
According to him, many Nigerian singers do not support the Headies Award but spend millions to attend the Grammys.
