Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, also known as Portable has criticised some of the country’s biggest music stars, claiming that wealth and fame have negatively affected the quality and message of their music.

In a video shared online, Portable alleged that Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy and Olamide have become disconnected from the realities of everyday Nigerians.

According to the singer, the artists now focus largely on women, luxury and lavish lifestyles in their songs, rather than producing music that inspires or addresses societal issues.

Portable argued that their recent songs lack motivational messages and urged them to create more conscious and spiritually uplifting music.

“I noticed that Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy and Olamide don’t praise God in their songs; they only sing about ladies. Is it because they already have money and believe they can’t fall? Their songs have no motivation and no sensible lyrics—just women and vanity,” he said.

He added, “Make conscious music. We are tired of songs about frivolities. I am also a musician. You all should do better.”
