Portable Gets N20m From Speed Darlington’s Foe, Burna Boy After Boxing Match

Controversial Nigerian singer, Portable, has revealed that Grammy-winning artiste Burna Boy gifted him a whopping N20 million following his victory over fellow singer Speed Darlington in their celebrity boxing match.

The highly anticipated bout took place on April 18, 2025, at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Lagos. Portable emerged victorious after knocking out Speed Darlington in the first round, a win that has since sent the social media abuzz.

In a surprising turn, Portable took to his Instagram page to announce the generous cash gift from Burna Boy, arguably, the most prominent foe of Speed Darlington.

He wrote:
“20 million from @burnaboygram. If you wanna be like Odogwu, can you do like Odogwu? God bless your family.”

The gift has stirred further buzz, especially considering Burna Boy and Speed Darlington’s rocky history. It would be recalled that the duo have had longstanding issues, with Speed Darlington previously accusing Burna Boy of having him locked up on two separate occasions.

Portable’s public appreciation of the gift has added another layer of drama to the feud, with fans continuing to react to the fight and Burna Boy’s unexpected gesture.

As of now, Burna Boy has not publicly commented on the cash gift, but the singer’s act has further solidified his “Odogwu” image in the eyes of many supporters.
