Afrobeats singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, better known as Portable, has claimed he received N20 million from music star Burna Boy as a reward for beating fellow artist Speed Darlington.

He made these claims recently in a video while discussing his celebrity boxing match with Darlington.

According to Portable, Burna Boy offered him the money to beat up Darlington, with whom the megastar had been having public altercations at the time.

He went on to add that the ‘Last Last’ crooner honoured his promise after he delivered on the assignment.

“The last time Speed Darlington and Burna Boy had issues, he paid me N20 million to beat him in a boxing match. I did it and he paid me,” Portable said.

Recounting the incident further in a mix of English and Pidgin, he added: “The time wey Burna Boy and Speed Darlington get issue, wey Speed Darlington dey insult Burna Boy, na me help Burna Boy beat am.

“He promise me N20 million, and he give me. Burna Boy no just invite me like that—if I no win, he no go give me the money. I win, na why I collect the N20 million.”

Portable noted, however, that he would have called out Burna Boy publicly had he failed to fulfil the promise.

“If he promise me money and he no give me, I go call am out. Na God say make I no call Burna Boy out, na why he come give me,” he said.

The singer concluded by extending a similar proposition to Wizkid, offering to confront comedian Carter Efe for a fee.

“Now Wizkid should pay me N20 million so I can finish Carter Efe for him,” Portable added.
