Burna Boy Rewards Portable with ₦20 Million for Defeating Speed Darlington in Celebrity Boxing Match
Grammy-winning superstar Burna Boy, also known as Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, has shown love to street-hop sensation Portable by gifting him ₦20 million after his recent victory over controversial rapper Speed Darlington in a much-hyped celebrity boxing match.
The fight, tagged “Chaos In The Ring,” was held on April 18, 2025, at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Lagos. Portable dominated the match, with Speed Darlington sustaining a shoulder injury and eventually being helped into an ambulance post-fight.
Celebrating Victory, Cementing Rivalries
Portable, widely recognized for his viral hit “Zazoo Zeh,” took to his verified Instagram account to share the exciting news via his Insta-stories.
“₦20 million from Burna Boy. If you wanna be like Odogwu, can you do like Odogwu? God bless your family,” he wrote, referring to Burna Boy’s popular nickname, “Odogwu.”
The generous gift also rekindles attention on the longstanding tension between Burna Boy and Speed Darlington. Speed has previously accused Burna of leveraging his relationship with American mogul Diddy to win a Grammy — a claim Burna Boy has never publicly addressed.
Celebrity Clash Draws Nationwide Buzz
The boxing match had been the talk of social media for weeks, with fans taking sides and memes flooding the internet. Portable’s win not only elevated his clout but also strengthened his ties with big-name celebrities like Burna Boy.
