Grammy Award-winning artiste Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has gifted ₦20 million to controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable, following his victory over Speed Darlington in their celebrity boxing match.
Portable confirmed the generous gift in a post shared on Instagram on Saturday.
“₦20 million from Burna Boy. If you wanna be like Odogwu, can you do like Odogwu? God bless your family,” Portable wrote.
PUNCH reports that Portable has been celebrating his win over rival Darlington Okoye, a.k.a. Speed Darlington, who has blamed his defeat in Saturday’s celebrity boxing clash on Portable’s alleged use of “juju” (charms).
Portable took to Instagram on Saturday to revel in his triumph at the Chaos in the Ring event, sanctioned by the Nigeria Boxing Board of Control and held at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Lagos. He posted: “Champion forever. I believe in those who believe in me. Na God dey run am. Orilomo.”
Later that day, he shared another celebratory message on his Instagram story, writing: “Joy full my body, money don land.”It is worth noting that Burna Boy and Speed Darlington have had a tense relationship.
In 2024, Speed Darlington accused Burna Boy of allegedly having an inappropriate connection with American rapper Diddy to secure his Grammy win.
Following that, Speed Darlington was arrested over allegations of defamation and cyberstalking against Burna Boy.
