Carter Efe has stirred major conversation online after sharing what he described as a private chat between him and controversial singer Portable, popularly known as Zazu. In the conversation, Portable allegedly insisted that he would not appear on Carter Efe’s live stream unless a payment of ₦10 million was made.
According to Carter Efe, the singer justified the demand by claiming divine instruction, stating that God told him not to give his “glory” for free. Portable reportedly dismissed lower offers, saying amounts like ₦9 million or ₦9.9 million were unacceptable and not enough to “call Zazu.”
The revelation quickly spread across social media, triggering mixed reactions from fans and industry watchers. While some criticized the singer for being excessive, others argued that artistes have the right to place a price on their brand and time, especially in today’s digital entertainment space.
