The “Odogwu” crooner, who has a long-standing feud with Speed Darlington, seemed pleased with the result of the match as Portable would later confirm the gift in a post on his Instagram page on Saturday.
“₦20 million from Burna Boy. If you wanna be like Odogwu, can you do like Odogwu? God bless your family,” Portable wrote, celebrating both his victory and the financial reward.
Speed Darlington cries foul after defeat
Following his technical knockout defeat, Speed Darlington claimed he dislocated his shoulder and suggested that Portable may have used native charms (“juju”) to influence the outcome.
In a video shared online, he lamented, “I never tire, my shoulder just dislocated. I no know wetin happen—maybe na juju Portable carry come.”
Despite the defeat and his injury, Speed Darlington’s comments have stirred up further drama, as fans continue to react to the fight and its fallout.
Burna Boy and Speed Darlington’s beef history
The gift from Burna Boy carries even more weight considering his rocky history with Speed Darlington, as the two artists hardly see eye-to-eye due to their tense relationship.
In 2024, Speed Darlington had accused Burna Boy of inappropriate dealings with Diddy to allegedly secure a Grammy Award after the American rapper was arrested by federal authorities in the United States for various offences.
The accusations led to Speed Darlington’s arrest over charges of defamation and cyberstalking.
With Portable’s win and Burna Boy’s show of support, the rivalry between Burna Boy and Speed Darlington appears far from over.
The ₦20 million gift has not only sparked social media buzz but has also added a new chapter to the ongoing feud.
Portable tipped for Olympic Games
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the founder of Golden Gloves Boxing Club, Abayomi Ojo Oyeleye, has reacted to the boxing bout between Nigerian musicians Portable and Speed Darlington.
Oyeleye said the Ogun-born artist surprised many boxing fans with his performance against Speed Darlington in the recent celebrity boxing match.
The Lagos-based coach noted that while Portable showed promise, he must take his boxing training more seriously to maintain fitness and prepare for future opportunities.
