Renowned singer Portable has caused a stir by asserting that Fela Kuti, the late Afrobeats icon, caused his own death by failing to  minding his business.

In a recent podcast conversation with Quincy Jonze, Portable made the suggestion that Fela’s premature demise was due to his inability to prioritize his own life and affairs over being entangled in other people’s problems. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Portable’s comments have generated significant buzz on social media, with many reacting to his bold and provocative statement about the beloved music icon.

Portable said …

“According to what we were told, if Fela had minded his business a little he would have lived longer. But he was busy fighting for Nigerians wey no fight for their selves.

“I was in America looking for foreign artistes. I was busy displaying my madness online when Davido called me to come. Me and Davido did not quarrel until when the devil Zlatan came.”
