Famous street-hop artiste, Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable, has bragged about being wealthy and owning about 30 mansions.

He informed fans that he is a low-key millionaire that has different houses are scattered across Lagos and Ogun states.

The ‘Zazu’ crooner spoke in the latest episode of the Afrobeats Podcast hosted by UK-based journalist, Adesope ‘ShopsyDoo’ Olajide.

Portable also said he engages in a lot of philanthropic works because the more he gives to the needy, the richer he gets.

The father of four stated that music industry is very lucrative and just like Shallipopi, likened “music money” to money ritual.

He claimed to be richer than most of his colleagues who he met in the industry, adding that most of them flaunt “fake lifestyles” on social media.

He said; “I’m a superstar, man of the people. People come to me for aid and I have to give them because the more I give them, the more I blow.

“I have a lot of money. The amount of money I spray… I’m not normal but I get 30 mansions. I have houses in Abule-Egba, Ikeja, Sango-Otta, and Abeokuta.

“I just bought the houses down because of tomorrow. Nobody knows that I’m the owner of those houses.”

Veteran actor, Anayo Modestus Onyekwere popularly known as Kanayo O. Kanayo, has said that nobody has the power to make another person rich through rituals, especially not those native doctors that live in thatched huts.

He warned young Nigerians against ritual killings in the hope of making money, saying there is no established connection between human sacrifices and becoming rich.

Speaking about rampant ritual killings, the actor said: “These people (youths) have up their ante and it is not about what they watch (movies). There is no truth to the fact that a man living in a thatched house will ask you to kill your girlfriend and sleep with her to make money.

“The Yahoo (scam) we knew many years ago was writing letters and promising deals that were utopian. We know many people who are in public office today who were part of it. I will not want to mention names.

“But today people are told that. The in-thing is Yahoo Promax, which involves killing someone, eating the heart of the person and washing it down with Hennessy, and the belief that you will make money. I can’t see any connection between that and making money. Money is made through hard work.”
