Cntroversial Nigerian singer Portable has publicly criticized veteran Fuji musician, Saheed Osupa, for allegedly taking down his song from streaming platforms over copyright infringement.
In a viral Instagram video on Wednesday, Portable expressed his frustration after Osupa’s complaint led to the removal of his song from Spotify and Apple Music. The dispute arose after Portable used a lyric from one of Osupa’s songs, prompting the Fuji star and his distributors to report the infringement.
Reacting to the situation, Portable accused Osupa of failing to support his career and called him out for the takedown.
“Saheed Osupa, you are big for nothing. If you can’t embrace me, I will drag you. You sing Fuji while I sing hip-hop. The same way I used a line from your music is the same way I removed three verses from Pasuma. But Pasuma never reported my song,” Portable ranted.
He further contrasted Osupa’s reaction to that of fellow Fuji icon Pasuma, whom he claimed had welcomed him with open arms instead of taking legal action.
“Keep your distance if you can’t embrace me like the way Pasuma adopted me like his own child. Osupa is a good man,” he added.
As of now, Saheed Osupa has yet to publicly respond to Portable’s outburst.
