Nigerian singer Dammy Krane, also known as Oyindamola Johnson Emmanuel, has stirred the music industry by expressing his belief that Portable currently holds more relevance than Grammy award-winning artist Wizkid. Krane shared this bold comparison on his X page, emphasizing Portable’s heightened prominence in today’s music landscape.
In his statement, Dammy Krane asserted that Portable’s significance surpasses that of Wizkid, highlighting the impact of British rapper Skepta in elevating Portable’s status. The collaboration between Portable and Skepta on the track “Tony Montana,” released earlier this month, played a pivotal role in this perceived rise. Notably, the song marked Portable’s first number one on Apple Music Nigeria since ‘Zazu.’
Krane’s provocative declaration adds another layer to ongoing discussions about the dynamic shifts within the Nigerian music scene, sparking debates among fans and industry observers alike.
