Nigerian singer Shoday has opened up on why he strongly believes controversial street-hop star Portable will not be fading out of the music scene anytime soon, stressing that the artiste’s presence goes far beyond his songs.
In a recent interview, Shoday pointed out that Portable has managed to carve out a unique lane for himself, with his personality, charisma, and daring lifestyle keeping him in the public eye. According to him, Portable’s energy and consistency have made him one of the most talked-about figures in Nigerian entertainment.
Shoday recalled that when Portable first broke into the limelight with his breakout hit, many music lovers and industry insiders tagged him as a one-season wonder, predicting his fame would die off within a year. However, time has proven them wrong as the Zazu crooner has continued to dominate conversations with his music, social media antics, and controversial lifestyle.
The singer further emphasized that in today’s entertainment space, music alone is not enough to keep an artist relevant. He explained that fans are drawn to personalities as much as they are to songs, and Portable has mastered the art of keeping people talking, whether through his viral social media posts, bold statements, or dramatic lifestyle.
His words …
“Artists like Portable, before he will go down and not trend again, it will be long. Music is far beyond song. You can’t just be putting out music; people need to know who you are. People need to know your personality, and this person doesn’t care. He posts on Instagram like WhatsApp. When he came out, people thought he was only going to trend for a year and that’s that, but till today he’s still buzzing…”
