Burna Boy Gifts Portable N20 Million to Celebrate His Boxing Win Against Speed Darlington

A report by Punch Newspapers has revealed that Grammy-winning music star Damini Ogulu, better known as Burna Boy, has gifted 20 million naira to controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable. The generous gesture comes shortly after Portable’s victory over fellow entertainer Speed Darlington in a celebrity boxing match.

Portable announced the surprise windfall via Instagram, expressing gratitude to Burna Boy. “20 naira million from Burna Boy. If you wanna be like Odogwu, can you do like Odogwu? God bless your family,” he wrote, celebrating both his win and the unexpected financial gift.

The bout, which took place at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Lagos, was part of the Chaos in the Ring event, officially sanctioned by the Nigeria Boxing Board of Control. Portable emerged victorious and later credited his win to divine support, posting, “Champion forever. I believe in those who believe in me. Na God dey run am.”

Speed Darlington, who lost the match, has since claimed his defeat was due to Portable’s alleged use of “juju” or charms. The tension between Darlington and Burna Boy predates the fight, as Speed Darlington had publicly accused Burna Boy of allegedly leveraging an inappropriate relationship with American rapper Diddy to win his Grammy award.

These allegations eventually led to Darlington’s arrest over charges related to defamation and cyberstalking. Meanwhile, Portable continues to bask in his victory and Burna Boy’s unexpected generosity.
