Nigerian Entertainment News: Portable Rejects Speed Darlington’s Concert Invite, Demands ₦20m Fee
Popular Nigerian artist, Habeeb Olalomi Badmus, widely recognized as Portable, has publicly dismissed an invitation from fellow musician Speed Darlington to perform at his forthcoming concert
Speed Darlington, whose birth name is Darlington Okoye, had extended an offer to Portable for the event slated for April 13.
However, Portable outrightly rejected the invite, asserting that Speed Darlington was merely fantasizing if he thought he could secure his performance.
In a heated reaction, Portable accused the indigenous rapper of attempting to exploit his fame to generate buzz for the concert. He further ridiculed Speed Darlington’s status, emphasizing that they were not in the same league.
“I’m not a street thug like you. I’m a star, a global sensation, a recognized celebrity. I’ve performed in London, in America,” Portable proclaimed.
Laying down his terms, the Zazu hitmaker insisted on a hefty ₦20 million appearance fee for the concert. He also alleged that Speed Darlington had previously reached out to him on Instagram, making an exaggerated claim of offering ₦500 million.
Portable wrapped up his remarks with a stern message, making it clear that he does not associate with individuals facing financial struggles.
