    Portable responds to comparisons of facial tattoos saying, “I look like Lil Wayne, not Asake”

    Published on

    Contentious Nigerian musician Habeeb Okikiola, better known by his stage name Portable, has denied that his facial tattoos are similar to those of his colleague Asake.

    Remember how Asake’s Instagram photo on Sunday displaying his new face tattoos, which feature slogans like “Believe” and cash signs, among others, caused a stir?

    Because of their facial tattoos, some reviewers had compared the “Terminator” crooner’s new appearance to Portable’s.

    Portable took offense at the parallels, saying he more closely resembles American rapper Lil Wayne.

    “Don’t compare me to Asake,” Portable stated in a video message posted on his social media profile. I don’t resemble Asake. I resemble Lil Wayne. He yelled, “Stop comparing me to an overrated artist.”
