British-Nigerian Hip Hop star, Michael Adenuga, better known as Skepta, has expressed frustration over how people he’s supported in the past now behave strangely.

He stated via his official X account that he sees ungrateful people who enjoyed support from him that they could never get from their father.

“All I see is ungrateful long faces, from people who’s Fathers ain’t even done what I did for them,” Skepta wrote, leading to speculations that he may be referring to Portable whom he featured on the song, Tony Montana.

After his post went viral and generated massive reactions, he dropped a separate tweet expressing his belief in divine justice.

The 41-year-old rapper wrote; “Good thing I don’t do things to get anything in return. God keeps the score.”

Meanwhile, Joseph “Skepta” Adenuga explained why he decided to work with street-hop singer, Portable.

He praised the ‘Zazuu Zeh’ star for hustling to make music and promote it despite not having a partnership or distribution deal with any major record label.

Skepta commended Portable for launching his own record label (Zeh Nation), going ahead to sign some artistes and using his little resources to support them.

The Hip Hop act had said Portable is the type of person he wants to help rather than the ones that flood his DM begging him to sign them.

Skepta said;

”Portable doesn’t have a distribution deal, he has no partnership with any major record label, he is just on his own and created his own label. As difficult as it is, he still signed other artistes and is still pushing them with the little he has.

“This is the kind of person I want to help because I will see results. Stop flooding people’s inbox with please sign me, go out there and start doing something the world gon see you.”
