Nigerian singer Portable has alleged that he was paid N20 million by fellow artist Burna Boy to confront Speed Darlington during their public dispute. In a recent video, Portable claimed that Burna Boy promised him the sum based on his performance in the alleged confrontation.
“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 stated, speaking in a mix of English and Pidgin.
Recounting the incident further, 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 emphasized that Burna Boy fulfilled his promise, noting that he would have publicly called out the singer if the payment had not been made. “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.
In addition to this claim, Portable extended a similar proposition to Wizkid, offering to confront comedian Carter Efe for a price. “Now Wizkid should pay me N20 million so I can finish Carter Efe for him,” he added.
The allegations have sparked reactions across social media, with fans and critics debating the credibility of Portable’s claims. Burna Boy has not yet responded to the allegations.
