Habeeb Okikiola, aka Portable, has stated he turned down the invite to perform at the pre-inauguration concert for President-Elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He alleged organizers offered him N5m out of the N10m reportedly approved for artists.
He said in a video on his Instagram page he didn’t want to be ripped off and declined the invite.
The Zazuu singer said: ” Them Dõn Rip Me oooh Na Me Sing Akoi TINUBU
“Na me sing Akoi Tinubu o. No be Obi una dey vote for? Tinubu enter now those useless people una go dey perform there, no be me promote Tinubu?

Artistes like Wande Coal, KCee and others performed at the concert in Abuja, which attracted Tinubu.
