The Agege-born star also added that Portable has been his boy since 2018 when he has been attending his concert.

On what led to their disagreement, Small Doctor said, “DJ Spirit had called me that day that he has an artiste, Portable that he wants me to jump on his song (Zazuu). I was surprised to see that my conversation with them on social media which attracted calls from several people including my manager.

“A few days later, my DJ told me that Olamide and Pocolee has featured in the song and I was surprised to see that there was an artwork for the song already.

“I was happy to see that because I know that their prestige will help boost the song and it blew.”

Small Doctor, however, said he challenged the arrangement of names on the cover because it read, “Pocolee featuring Portable and Olamide because he was the owner of the song and it should reflect that he’s featuring both of them on the song.
