Portable, who is also a record label founder, expressed his concern that Mohbad’s supporters and fellow celebrities did not sufficiently encourage and support him during his lifetime.
He noted that it was only after Mohbad’s untimely death that his music and projects gained significant attention on digital streaming platforms both in Nigeria and abroad.
In his message, the “Zazuu Zeh” crooner emphasized his desire to be celebrated and recognized while he is still living, rather than receiving what he referred to as “fake love” after his demise.
He implored his audience to appreciate, motivate, and celebrate him now, while he can still experience it firsthand.
Portable pointed out the trend of not showing appreciation for artists until after they have passed away and expressed a desire for this pattern to change.

His heartfelt plea serves as a reminder of the importance of supporting and celebrating artists during their lifetimes and not taking their contributions for granted until it’s too late.
