“Don’t Compare Me to Asake, I Look Like Lil Wayne” – Portable Responds to Tattoo Comparisons

Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, has expressed frustration over being compared to fellow artiste Asake regarding their facial tattoos. The issue arose after Asake unveiled his new facial tattoos on Instagram on Sunday, sparking reactions on social media. While some fans were drawn to the designs, which included dollar signs and the word “Believe,” others noticed similarities to Portable’s own tattooed appearance.

The comparisons between the two artists quickly took over social media platforms, with commentators noting the shared feature of facial tattoos. However, Portable, who is known for his bold and unique fashion choices, took issue with the comparisons, asserting that his style is distinct from Asake’s.

In a video posted to his own social media page, Portable made his feelings clear. “Don’t compare me to Asake. I don’t look like Asake. I look like Lil Wayne. Stop comparing me to an overrated artiste,” he declared, visibly upset. The singer’s comments drew attention to the fact that he identifies more closely with the style of American rapper Lil Wayne, who is famous for his extensive facial tattoos.
