Burna Boy Celebrates Portable’s Boxing Win With N20 Million Cash Gift

Grammy Award-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy has gifted street-hop sensation Portable a whopping N20 million to celebrate his recent triumph over Speed Darlington in a high-profile celebrity boxing match.

The event, aptly titled “Chaos in the Rings,” ended in dramatic fashion when Speed Darlington reportedly sustained a broken arm in the first round and failed to return for the second, handing Portable the victory by default. The clash had stirred major buzz on social media, especially given the history of tension between Burna Boy and Speed Darlington.

Following the match, Burna Boy—often referred to as “Odogwu” by fans—made headlines not for jabs thrown, but for the surprise financial gift he sent Portable. Portable took to his Instagram story to express his heartfelt thanks, writing:

“20 million from @burnaboygram. If you wanna be like Odogwu, can you do like Odogwu? God bless your family.”

The gesture has sparked reactions across the Nigerian entertainment scene, with fans praising Burna Boy’s unexpected show of unity and support.
