Controversial music star Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Portable, has knocked out fellow entertainer Darlington Okoye, also called Speed Darlington, in a heated boxing match tagged Chaos In The Ring.

The highly anticipated bout, held at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Lagos and sanctioned by the Nigerian Boxing Board of Control, ended in the first round with Portable sealing victory by technical knockout.

Organized by Game Rush and Balmoral Promotions, the celebrity showdown drew a packed crowd and featured the Board’s chairman, Rafiu Ladipo, among the dignitaries present.

The fight was the climax of a long-running online feud between the two artists, which began after Speed Darlington reportedly offered Portable N500,000 to perform at his show—an offer Portable dismissed as insulting.

What followed was a war of words that eventually spilled into the ring.

This marks Portable’s second boxing victory, his first being against actor Charles Okocha in December 2023.

With this latest triumph, the self-proclaimed “Street King” is quickly building a reputation beyond the music stage, leaving fans curious about who his next challenger will be.

Fuji icon King Dr Saheed Osupa has called off his legal war with controversial street-hop act Portable, but not without setting firm conditions for peace.

The music veteran, who had earlier dragged Portable to court over criminal defamation, threats to life and character assassination, said the decision to withdraw the case was influenced by appeals from respected Nigerians and concern over Portable’s worsening situation after his arrest in Kwara State.

In a statement released by his management, Osupa stressed that the case was never personal but meant to uphold dignity and discipline in the entertainment industry.

“This was about principle, not pride,” the statement read. “There is a dangerous rise in cyberbullying and reckless talk among younger artists. This action was a line in the sand.”

Portable was earlier remanded in custody after failing to meet tough bail conditions, including one million naira and two sureties—one of whom must be a current PMAN official.

Moved by the public interventions and Portable’s inability to secure bail, Osupa said he has decided to forgive, but not forget.

The lawsuit has been dropped, but not without strings.

Portable must publicly retract his inflammatory statement that implied Osupa would be responsible if anything bad happened to him.

He must also admit that claims by his lawyer about a supposed apology meeting—where he allegedly begged Osupa for forgiveness—were false.

Most importantly, he must sign a written commitment never to engage in defamation, cyberbullying or character attacks again.

The management made it clear: any breach of these terms will see the legal action reinstated.

Osupa’s move may signal a desire for peace, but it also sends a strong message that fame without discipline will not be tolerated.

The ball is now in Portable’s court.

Popular media personality and actress Toke Makinwa has set social media abuzz after revealing she is open to becoming a second, third, or even fifth wife, as long as it brings her the companionship she desires.

Speaking candidly on a recent episode of her podcast ‘Toke Moments’, the 40-year-old broadcaster and fashion icon admitted that the burdens of independence sometimes leave her longing for a partner who can share life’s daily decisions.

“I am the boss everywhere and that could be tiring,” Makinwa confessed, saying “You feel like you need someone to lean on. Someone that could decide what is for dinner. Must it be me?”

Makinwa, who was previously married to fitness expert Maje Ayida before their highly publicized split in 2017, reflected on the pressures that come with professional success.

While she cherishes her autonomy, she admitted that the constant weight of decision-making can be overwhelming.

Her openness to polygamy marks a bold departure from conventional narratives about relationships, sparking widespread discussions about love, independence, and evolving family structures in modern society.

Fans and critics alike have flooded online platforms with varied reactions, with some applauding her honesty and others debating the complexities of polygamous unions.

As always, Makinwa’s fearless approach to sensitive topics continues to position her as a leading voice in conversations about personal choices and societal expectations.
