Afrobeat singer Davido has come under fire from Habeeb Okikiola, also known as “Portable,” for allegedly unfollowing him on social media because of his purported political inclinations.
While Portable had been rooting for Gov. Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress, Davido is well known for being an APC supporter with his uncle Ademola Adeleke running for governor of Osun on the party’s ticket (APC).
In a number of videos, the “Zazu” singer can be seen supporting Sen. Bola Tinubu and Oyetola, both APC candidates for president.
There were rumors that Davido unfollowed him because of the latter’s choice to support APC in Osun.
Confirming the rumors, Portable used his Instagram account to vent his resentment at Davido for unfollowing him while he was attempting to safeguard his future.
He added that, unlike his senior counterpart Davido, he did not come from a wealthy family, which motivated him to work extremely hard to earn money and avoid returning to the labor force.
He said: “Open your ears and listen. My father isn’t a rich man, I am not a son of a rich man, I am from the trenches.
“I am the one that brought riches to my family. Open your ears so my words can enter.
“I am running and hustling in this manner and it is simply because of money. And also to avert the suffering my family had to endure, which doesn’t become my portion.
“Once again, my father is not a rich man. I come from the trenches but managed to bring my family into wealth. So support who support you. They wasted no time in unfollowing us,” Portable said.
