Portable Accuses Wizkid, Davido, Olamide, Burna Boy of Stifling New Talent Growth

Portable, a Nigerian artist, has criticized industry heavyweights Wizkid, Davido, Olamide, and Burna Boy for hindering the progress of new talent in the music sector. He alleges that the dominance of these four stars over the past decade has made it challenging for emerging musicians to succeed.
Portable claims that the superstars often flaunt their wealth, particularly expensive jewelry, creating undue pressure on younger artists. He warns that the constant display of affluence sets unrealistic standards for up-and-coming musicians.
Portable urges established musicians to be mindful of the influence they wield and to consider the impact of their actions on the industry. The artist emphasizes the need for a change in the way colleagues are viewed and calls for a shift in the prevailing culture within the Nigerian music scene.
