Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Olalomi Badmus, known in the music world as Portable, has rejected fellow artist Speed Darlington's challenge to a boxing match, stating that the rapper is not a worthy opponent and expressing his lack of interest in the fight. Portable boldly declared that Speed Darlington's challenge was merely a publicity stunt designed to promote his upcoming show, which is set to take place in April. In his usual outspoken style, Portable dismissed the entire boxing challenge as an unnecessary distraction.
Instead of engaging with Darlington, Portable shifted his focus to a much bigger and more prominent figure — British-Nigerian boxing champion Anthony Joshua. With his usual flair, Portable made it clear that he would only be interested in a fight with Joshua, demanding a hefty N100 million to even consider stepping into the ring with the world-renowned boxer. In typical fashion, Portable also took the opportunity to boast about his status in the Nigerian entertainment industry, emphasizing that he is a far bigger star than Darlington.
The entire drama began when Speed Darlington publicly challenged Portable to a fight and set certain conditions regarding his performance at the show. However, Portable wasted no time in rejecting the challenge, further fueling the online buzz and debate among fans, with many expressing support for either artist. The entire episode has created more excitement and attention on social media, with fans eagerly awaiting the next move in this unfolding public drama. Portable’s fans, however, have rallied behind him, calling the demand for N100 million an appropriate gesture given his celebrity status.
The feud between Portable and Speed Darlington continues to captivate the Nigerian entertainment scene, with both artists now taking their rivalry to a larger stage. Fans and the general public eagerly await what could be the next chapter in this highly entertaining and often dramatic rivalry.
