Controversial Nigerian singer, Portable, has publicly criticized veteran Fuji musician, Saheed Osupa, for allegedly taking down his song from streaming platforms over copyright infringement claims.
In a viral Instagram video on Wednesday, Portable lashed out at Osupa for reporting his song, which led to its removal from Spotify and Apple Music.
The issue arose after Portable used a line from one of Osupa’s songs without permission, prompting complaints from the Fuji singer and his distribution team.
Reacting to the takedown, Portable expressed his disappointment, accusing Osupa of failing to support his career.
He labeled the Fuji star a “big for nothing fellow” and questioned why Osupa chose to act against him, while another Fuji icon, Pasuma, had been more accommodating.
“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. Keep your distance if you can’t embrace me like Pasuma, who took me as his own child. Osupa is a good man,” Portable ranted.
The feud has sparked reactions from fans, with some supporting Portable’s frustration while others emphasize the importance of respecting copyright laws in the music industry.
