Portable via a video posted on his Instagram page rejected the comparison, saying his style is inspired by American rapper Lil Wayne, not Asake.
He said, “Don’t compare me to Asake. I don’t look like Asake. I look like Lil Wayne. Stop comparing me to an overrated artiste. I am spending Sony’s money not Empire’s money. I am an international artist…
