Controversial Nigerian street-hop artist, Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Portable, has fired back at claims made by fellow entertainer Speed Darlington following their recent celebrity boxing match, which drew widespread attention.
The bout, dubbed “Chaos in the Rings,” ended abruptly when Speed Darlington failed to continue into the second round after sustaining an arm injury during the heated first round.
With that, Portable was declared the winner and walked away with the title. However, the drama didn’t end in the ring, as Speed Darlington later took to social media with serious accusations that reignited the rivalry.
In a dramatic Instagram video, Speed Darlington addressed his followers, expressing confusion and suspicion about the manner in which his injury occurred.
He suggested that his loss may have been influenced by supernatural forces allegedly employed by Portable. “I don’t know what exactly happened, maybe it was the juju that Portable brought,” he said. “I wasn’t tired, but my hand got dislocated.”
The statement sparked a mix of reactions online, with fans and critics weighing in on whether the claim had merit or was simply a sore loser’s excuse. Speed Darlington insisted the defeat didn’t feel natural and hinted that his opponent’s victory wasn’t achieved through ordinary means.
Portable, never one to back down from controversy, responded in typical brash fashion. In a video shared with his followers, the “Zazoo Zehh” crooner appeared to mock Speed Darlington’s spiritual accusations while also boldly confirming them in a tongue-in-cheek manner.
“Yes, na juju,” he exclaimed. “Go find your own juju.” The singer seemed to revel in the chaos, portraying himself as unapologetic and victorious. .
According to him, he did what needed to be done to emerge the winner, framing Speed Darlington’s complaints as a sign of weakness. His challenge for Speedy to “go diabolical too” added another layer to the ongoing feud, making it clear that Portable had no plans to walk back his statements.
Maintaining his flamboyant style and energy, Portable made it known that in his world, losing is not an option. “I am not a looser, I am a winner,” he declared confidently.
Despite the bizarre turn the post-match conversation has taken, Portable used the moment to acknowledge his supporters. “My fans, God bless you. Thank you for your support,” he said, raising questions about how much of his reaction was serious and how much was entertainment.
For a performer who thrives on viral moments and internet buzz, the controversy may only serve to increase his notoriety and engagement with fans.
The aftermath of “Chaos in the Rings” now appears to be even more chaotic than the event itself. With Speed Darlington hinting at spiritual sabotage and Portable leaning into the image of a streetwise trickster, the narrative has shifted from sportsmanship to spectacle.
Whether or not diabolical powers were truly involved, the drama has kept fans talking, turning a celebrity boxing match into an ongoing saga filled with theatrics, rivalry, and viral moments.
If there’s one thing both fighters seem to agree on, it’s that in the world of entertainment, the fight doesn’t end when the bell rings.
