Nigerian singer Portable has publicly criticized content creator Carter Efe for mocking his demand of ₦10 million to appear on a TikTok livestream. In a video response, Portable accused Carter Efe of attempting to exploit him similarly to how he allegedly exploited his former signee, Young Duu.
The dispute began when Carter Efe invited Portable to join a TikTok live session. Portable requested a ₦10 million fee for his appearance, which Carter Efe found excessive and publicly ridiculed. In retaliation, Portable released a video accusing Carter Efe of being a “thief” and claiming that he had previously taken advantage of Young Duu by relocating him to Lekki without providing adequate support.
Portable further criticized Young Duu for not heeding his earlier advice to request payment for appearances, suggesting that this oversight led to his exploitation. The feud has garnered significant attention on social media, with fans and followers reacting to the unfolding drama.
This incident highlights ongoing tensions in the Nigerian entertainment industry regarding artist compensation and the dynamics between established artists and emerging talents.
