Portable says artistes like Ruger and BNXN must re-learn the art of music making from him.
The singer put out a monologue where he heavily criticised Ruger and BNXN while making a number of allegations.
Portable made claims about both singers while speaking of artistes who buy streaming numbers and awards.
He said practices of this sort unfairly dislodge other industry players whose talents should receive validation.
The controversial singer also criticised the thematic focus of both singers’ lyrics as excessively being about women.
“Tell Ruger and Buju to learn music from Dr. Zeh. They don’t know how to sing. Their lyrics are not audible. It’s not that we don’t understand English. It’s just that their wordings are not audible enough,” Portable said in Pidgin.
“It’s not just about singing about women and earning all the awards. Can’t you praise God? Can’t you talk reality things? Can’t you say wise wordings? Are you mad or something? Later they end up with all the awards.
“All the downloads Ruger gets, who downloads it? Is it not all lies? You guys kill other people’s careers.
“There are artistes who are far better than you guys. You use fake life to kill other people’s careers. Music is business and it’s competitive. But you guys use money to buy out awards.”
With Love,
From Portable to Ruger and Buju. pic.twitter.com/MUJl9a4MMx

Ruger and BNXN are yet to react to Portable’s rant — as of the time of this report.
The ‘Zazoo Zeh’ crooner is not new to controversies. He has been involved in a series of dramas in 2022 alone.
In one such case, Portable was in the news for physically assaulting one of his signees after an argument.
The singer once claimed to have founded a cult that had terrorised residents in parts of Lagos state years back.
He also threatened to assassinate rival musicians nominated alongside him in The Headies 2022.
The police, as a result, ordered a probe into the cult claim while The Headies eventually disqualified him.
