Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy has gifted street-hop artist Portable a whopping N20 million following his victory in a viral boxing match against controversial personality Speed Darlington.
The generous gesture has stirred massive reactions online, with many interpreting it as Burna Boy’s subtle response to his long-standing feud with Speed Darlington. According to circulating reports from Portable’s camp, the Last Last crooner was impressed with how Portable handled Speed Darlington during the heated match and decided to reward him handsomely.
Portable, whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, could hardly contain his excitement. Taking to social media, he publicly thanked Burna Boy, writing: “N20 million from Burna Boy. If you want to be like Odogwu, can you do like Odogwu? God bless your family.”
The boxing bout between Portable and Speed Darlington was nothing short of intense, with Portable dominating the match. Videos of the fight quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions from fans of both artists. While many celebrated Portable’s triumph, Speed Darlington dismissed the result and accused his opponent of using black magic, later demanding a rematch online.
Despite Speed Darlington’s allegations, Portable has remained unbothered, riding the wave of his victory and newfound fortune. The fight also reignited memories of the online clashes between Burna Boy and Speed Darlington, where the latter frequently mocked the Grammy-winning artist and accused him of industry favoritism.
With this N20 million gift, Burna Boy has made his stance clear silently but powerfully backing Portable, and perhaps sending a final message to a longtime critic, Speed Darlington.
