Controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, widely recognized as Portable, has unabashedly declared himself a low-key millionaire, asserting ownership of approximately 30 mansions scattered across Lagos and Ogun states.
The ‘Zazu’ crooner, known for his bold and unconventional statements, opened up about his wealth and philanthropic endeavors in the latest episode of the Afrobeats Podcast hosted by Adesope Olajide. According to Portable, his act of giving back to the less fortunate serves as a catalyst for his increasing wealth.
Emphasizing his status as a “superstar” and a “man of the people,” Portable revealed, “People come to me for aid, and I have to give them because the more I give them, the more I blow.” The artist went on to boast about his financial prowess, stating, “I have a lot of money. The amount of money I spray… I’m not normal, but I get 30 mansions. I have houses in Abule-Egba, Ikeja, Sango-Otta, and Abeokuta. I just bought the houses down because of tomorrow. Nobody knows that I’m the owner of those houses.”
In an intriguing comparison, Portable likened the financial gains in the music industry to “money ritual,” asserting its lucrative nature. He further claimed to be wealthier than many of his industry colleagues, alleging that some flaunt “fake lifestyles” on social media.
