In a recent social media post, Nigerian artist Portable has issued a stern warning to fellow artist Dammy Krane, cautioning him against using their collaborative song as a means to insult or lay claim on Davido. This warning comes after Dammy Krane allegedly used their joint track to make allegations against Davido in an underground music release.
Portable expressed his disappointment in Dammy Krane’s actions, stating, “Did we sing the song to insult Davido? Davido is my helper, and he will still help me.” The artist emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive relationship with Davido and urged Dammy Krane to refrain from using their collaboration as a means to attack the singer.
The dispute stems from Dammy Krane’s use of their collaborative song to make claims about Davido, including allegations surrounding Tagbo’s tragic passing. In the post, Dammy Krane accused Davido of instructing Tagbo to consume excessive amounts of alcohol on his 40th birthday and subsequently abandoning him until his untimely death. These allegations have been met with mixed reactions from fans and industry insiders.
Portable’s warning serves as a reminder that their collaborative effort was not intended to malign or insult Davido. Rather, it was meant to showcase their talents and create a musical piece that resonated with their audience. The artist emphasized his appreciation for Davido’s support and assistance throughout their collaboration, making it clear that he intends to maintain a positive relationship with the singer.
The Nigerian music industry is known for its close-knit community, where collaborations and support among artists are common. Portable’s warning to Dammy Krane underscores the importance of maintaining professional relationships and using music as a means of creativity, rather than a platform for personal conflicts or grievances.
As the tensions between Portable and Dammy Krane continue, fans and industry observers eagerly await any further developments. The situation serves as a reminder of the significance and responsibilities that come with artistic collaborations and the need for mutual respect among artists in the Nigerian music industry.
