Nigerian music industry rivals, Portable and Speed Darlington, are about to take their ongoing feud to the boxing ring this April. It’s not just any regular fight; it’s a battle for supremacy between two entertainers known for their fiery personalities and larger-than-life egos. As fans brace themselves for what promises to be an explosive showdown, let’s delve into the dramatic build-up leading to this highly anticipated celebrity boxing match.
“You are inviting me to a show, and you don’t have money. You are using my name to promote your show. I charge ₦20 million, ask around,”
The feud between Portable, born Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, and the self-proclaimed “Energy god,” Speed Darlington, escalated when Darlington extended an invitation to Portable to perform at his upcoming event with a fee of ₦500,000. However, this seemingly generous offer was met with disdain from Portable who found the payment insulting given his status as a sought-after performer who claims he charges ₦20 million per show.
