Nigerian singer Portable has taken a step many fans considered unlikely when he publicly apologised to award winning rapper Olamide for past disrespect. The apology, delivered with visible humility, marked a dramatic turn in the turbulent relationship between the two artistes.
Portable, known for controversy and unpredictable behaviour, acknowledged that he had acted out of pride and emotion. In what observers described as a rare moment of self restraint, he admitted that Olamide had always supported him and did not deserve the earlier disrespect.
Industry followers were even more surprised by Olamides response. The YBNL boss reportedly forgave Portable immediately and went a step further by blessing him with a free verse for his upcoming project. Social media users applauded Olamide for maintaining what many call his reputation for grace, generosity and calm leadership in an industry often marked by rivalry.
Music analysts say the incident highlights the power of humility in rebuilding industry relationships. They add that Olamides approach reinforces his long standing image as a mentor who supports younger artistes regardless of differences. Portable also received praise for apologising publicly, with many fans urging him to maintain stability as he works on new music.
The reconciliation has quickly become one of the most discussed entertainment stories of the week, with fans celebrating a rare moment of peace in a drama filled space.
