Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has again responded to Asake’s newly released single ‘Military,’ which was targeted at those criticising his spoken English, and told him to ‘get a teacher.’
The street hip-hop singer on January 5, 2025, took to his Instagram page to upload a video freestyling a song and slamming his fellow artist’s English.
He sang, “If you sing one, I’d sing two. You can’t speak English! Maybe you should get a teacher, olodo. Go and get a teacher, you have money yet you can’t speak English.
“Whether or not you’ve been I’ve not, go and get a teacher. I’m not stupid, I can speak British English well. Olodo rabata.”
Social media users have also criticised Portable in his latest post on the Sungba crooner.
“Asake don reach billion streams? You don reach there before 😂😂”
“you sure you’re not fighting your self bruh😂
“This portable na Nollywood on his own”
Just the day before, Portable teased a diss track he recorded about Asake and the camouflage outfit he wore at the 67th Grammy Award show.
Asake lost to Tems who won the Best African Music Performance category over Yemi Alade’s ‘Tomorrow’, Chris Brown’s ‘Sensational’ feat Davido & Lojay, and Burna Boy’s ‘Higher’.
Portable slammed him for losing his nomination, singing, “You wore an army uniform to receive a Grammy, your papa no be army. You wanted to win a Grammy but they didn’t give you one.”
Asake had also faced some criticism over his spoken English during a red carpet interview at the event, and in the new song he released afterwards, he told his detractors to keep saying whatever they wish while also stating that he just doesn’t feel great when speaking English.
