Grammy-winning musician Damini Ogulu, better known as Burna Boy, has rewarded fellow singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly called Portable, with ₦20 million after his victory over Speed Darlington in a celebrity boxing showdown.
Portable shared news of the gift via his Instagram account on Saturday.“₦20 million from Burna Boy. If you wanna be like Odogwu, can you do like Odogwu? God bless your family,” Portable wrote. According to *PUNCH*, Portable has been enthusiastically marking his triumph over his rival, Darlington Okoye (aka Speed Darlington), who controversially claimed his loss was due to Portable’s alleged use of “juju” (traditional charms).
The match took place during the *Chaos in the Ring* event, held at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Lagos and sanctioned by the Nigeria Boxing Board of Control. Following his win, Portable posted on Instagram: “Champion forever. I believe in those who believe in me. Na God dey run am. Orilomo.”
Later, he expressed his excitement in an Instagram story update, writing: “Joy full my body, money don land.” In 2024, Speed Darlington had publicly accused Burna Boy of securing his Grammy Award through alleged improper dealings with American music mogul Diddy. That same year, Speed Darlington was arrested on charges of defamation and cyberstalking related to his statements against Burna Boy.
