Nigerian singer, Portable, has reportedly signed up-and-coming hypeman, Barber Chair, to his Zeh Nation record label.
Barber Chair previously worked with well-known hypeman God Over Everything (GOE) before they parted ways a few weeks ago.
Rumors of the new partnership surfaced after Portable shared a video on his Instagram stories, showing him with Barber Chair at his popular Odogwu Bar.
In the video, Portable said that he was helping Barber Chair gain more visibility on social media by tagging his new Instagram page and encouraging his fans to follow it.
Portable expressed his intention to support Barber Chair’s entertainment career and coached him on how to introduce himself to attract more followers.
During the video, Portable took a jab at hypeman GOE, accusing him of taking advantage of Barber Chair.
He claimed that while GOE and Barber Chair made many videos together, GOE never tagged Barber Chair in any of them.
Portable also claimed that Barber Chair sees himself not just as a hypeman but as a singer with musical talent.
Portable encouraged Barber Chair to showcase his musical abilities, and after some initial shyness, Barber Chair responded by dropping a few freestyle verses.
However, in the videos posted by Portable, there was no direct mention of Barber Chair officially joining the Zeh Nation label.
Despite this, many Nigerians expressed concern about Barber Chair’s situation, especially after Portable had recently tried to lure him to his record label with promises of gifts, including a car and money for Barber Chair’s mother.
