Controversial hip-hop artist Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has emerged victorious over his rival, Darlington Okoye, aka Speed Darlington, in a highly anticipated celebrity showdown.
The bout, tagged “Chaos in the Ring,” was organized by Game Rush in collaboration with Balmoral Promotions, and took place on Saturday. The event followed the success of their previous tournament in December 2024 and the recent launch of Friday Fight Night in February 2025.
Tensions between the two entertainers reportedly escalated after Speed Darlington offered Portable ₦500,000 to perform at one of his shows—a gesture Portable considered disrespectful and insulting. The bad blood eventually spilled into the ring in what fans have described as a no-holds-barred clash.
This comes just a week after the Zazoo Zeh crooner was arrested in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, on April 12, over allegations including criminal defamation, threat to life, incitement, and character assassination directed at veteran Fuji musician Saheed Osupa. Portable was released shortly after Saheed Osupa withdrew his petition.
