Nigerian music artists, Portable and Speed Darlington, are set to face off in a celebrity boxing match on April 18 at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos.
The feud between the two singers started when Speed Darlington invited Portable to perform at his show and offered him N500,000, but Portable declined, saying he charges N20 million per performance and mocking Darlington for being “poor”.
Portable said “You are inviting me to a show, and you don’t have money. You are using my name to promote your show. I charge N20 million, ask around.
“You’re offering me N500k, for what? I don’t want to be friends with poor people. I don’t know he is that poor.”
Responding, Darlington accused Portable of insulting his mother, which led to Portable challenging him to a fight, boasting that he would defeat him like he did to actor Charles Okocha.
The boxing match was arranged due to popular demand, with the organizer, Mygamerush, announcing the event on Instagram, saying “You asked and now it is here. Two street king’s battle for ultimate street supremacy.”
