    Liberia’s 10-30 Crushes Nigeria’s Portable: Talent vs Empty Noise

    Let’s cut straight to the chase: 10-30, Liberia’s fastest rising star, is a better musician than Nigeria’s Portable—by a mile. In fact, comparing the two almost feels insulting to 10-30’s artistry.

    Portable, born Habeeb Okikiola, is a perfect example of what happens when the music industry mistakes controversy for talent. His entire career was launched on Zazu Zeh, a song carried by Olamide’s co-sign more than by Portable’s ability. Since then, his biggest achievement hasn’t been hits, awards, or international tours—it’s been chaos, viral rants, and reckless drama.

    Let’s not forget: In 2022, Portable was nominated at the prestigious Headies Awards for Best Street Artist and Rookie of the Year. He didn’t win a single award. Why? Because deep down, even the industry knows—Portable is all noise, no legacy.

    Meanwhile, in Liberia, 10-30 is quietly rewriting the rules of African music. With three major records already buzzing across the country and spreading beyond borders, he’s proving that real music doesn’t need staged fights, insults, or fake controversies to gain attention. His songs carry weight, his lyrics touch lives, and his craft shows dedication.

    Portable once arrogantly declared himself the “fifth biggest artist in Nigeria” after Davido, Burna Boy, and Wizkid. That laughable claim alone shows the depth of his delusion. Portable is not an artist—he is an internet comedian wearing the mask of a musician. If controversy is the only thing keeping you relevant, then you’re not a star—you’re a circus act.

    On the other hand, 10-30 represents authenticity, discipline, and a hunger for greatness. Without the endless industry connections Portable enjoys in Nigeria—the world’s biggest Afrobeats market—10-30 is already competing by relying on sheer talent and originality. Imagine what happens when the world truly tunes in.

    Here’s the truth nobody wants to admit: Portable is a waste of space in Nigerian music. He’s a loud distraction while real talents grind in silence. 10-30, with his focus and artistry, is the type of musician Africa should be rallying behind.

    Liberia may not yet have the global Afrobeats machine behind it, but with 10-30, the nation has found a genuine contender ready to shake the industry. When the dust settles, people will remember Portable for controversies. They’ll remember 10-30 for music.
