"The implication for the industry at large is that we need to start doing things the proper way. Portable and Saheed Osupa's case is a copyright-related matter. Unfortunately, many Nigerian artists lack knowledge of copyright laws and their implications. Artists need to engage entertainment lawyers as part of their team."

Asha also addressed Portable's controversial approach to music career. The talent manager noted that controversy is the Zazu singer's tactic of being relevant and also listed the side effects, especially as it affects corporate organisations doing business with him. He said:

"Portable made his name by being a controversial artist; this strategy has worked so much that he enjoys lots of publicity. Unfortunately, he has no constraints or restraints in his disposition online and offline, which has affected his image negatively, especially in the corporate arena, where he could be earning more money."
