Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar, Burna Boy, has once again proven that he’s got both the title and the wallet to match, as he gifted street-hop sensation, Portable, a whopping N20 million following his dramatic victory in a celebrity boxing match against Speed Darlington.
The event, tagged ‘Chaos in the Rings’, held over the weekend and delivered as much drama outside the ring as it did within. Portable, known for his eccentric personality and energetic performances, emerged victorious after Speed Darlington failed to return for the second round. Reports suggest Speed Darlington suffered a broken arm during the heated first round and was unable to continue, handing Portable an automatic win.
In a surprising twist that quickly went viral, Burna Boy, who has had his fair share of public run-ins with Speed Darlington decided to celebrate Portable’s win in a grand style. The ‘Last Last’ crooner reportedly transferred N20 million to Portable as a congratulatory gesture.
Portable took to his Instagram stories on Saturday to share the news with his fans, proudly posting:
“20 million from @burnaboygram. If you wanna be like Odogwu, can you do like Odogwu? God bless your family.”
The post immediately sparked reactions across social media, with fans hailing Burna Boy’s generous act and praising Portable for his win. Many also saw the gesture as a subtle jab at Speed Darlington, whom Burna Boy has had an ongoing beef with.
The surprise cash gift not only marks one of the biggest celebrity boxing paydays in Nigeria’s entertainment scene but also further cements Burna Boy’s reputation as one of the most supportive and unpredictable stars in the industry.
With bragging rights and millions in the bank, Portable is clearly enjoying his moment and fans are here for all of it.
