Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has revealed plans for his upcoming extended play titled ‘Chosen One.’ He shared a preview of a track from the project on his Instagram, generating excitement among fans.
The teaser included artwork inspired by the viral ‘I am a Chosen’ trend. In the song, Portable, known for his hit Zazoo Zeh, boasts about his financial contributions to both Christian and Islamic causes, asserting that these acts will secure him a place in heaven.
The announcement has sparked discussions across social media platforms. In the track, he sings in a blend of Yoruba and English, reflecting on his experiences in various churches and his commitment to supporting them:
“I’ve been to church where they wear casual dress/ I’ve been to a white garment church/ I’ve attended Cherubim, rolled on the floor/ Even though you attend Celestial you may not become a celeb/ I am a glory of the celestial/ Be careful/ I’ve rang bell for seven churches/ I’ve attended seven churches/ I’ve been to seven mountains/ Shouted seven hallelujah.”
He continues, highlighting his contributions: “I bought instruments for churches/ My life will be good/ God of Osoffa do not let me be hot by world arrow/ I’ve helped in the construction of churches/ I’ve helped provide light for churches and mosques/ I will make heaven.”
Portable first gained widespread recognition in December 2021 with his breakout single Zazoo Zeh, featuring Olamide and Poco Lee.
