Zlatan Ibile and Portable clash over ₦500m account claim

Nigerian musicians Zlatan Ibile and Portable are engaged in a public dispute following Zlatan’s social media post showcasing a bank account balance of approximately ₦500 million.

Portable has questioned the legitimacy of the funds, alleging that such a sum is unlikely to be generated solely from music earnings. He suggested the wealth could be linked to money laundering or other illicit activities, challenging Zlatan to provide details regarding his recent performance earnings.

Zlatan Ibile responded by dismissing the criticisms, characterizing Portable as an upcoming artist and suggesting the amount is beyond Portable’s comprehension. The exchange reignites a long-standing tension between the two artists, which previously involved allegations regarding Portable’s relationship with singer Davido.
