Nigerian singer Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, has publicly called out his colleague Habeeb Olalomi Badmus, aka Portable, for allegedly insulting his mother.
The controversy erupted after Speed Darlington invited Portable to perform at his upcoming concert, scheduled for April 13, 2025.
According to Speed Darlington, Portable not only declined the offer but also resorted to personal insults, targeting his mother in the process. This has ignited a fresh wave of drama between the two artists, who are no strangers to public spaces. The incident, which Speed Darlington aired via video circulating online, has drawn significant attention on social media. He expressed his frustration, detailing how Portable’s response went beyond a simple refusal and veered into disrespectful territory.
While the exact words Portable allegedly used remain unspecified, the accusation has fuelled speculation and reactions among fans of both artists.
Speed Darlington’s decision to invite Portable to his show was initially seen as an olive branch, given their history of verbal exchanges. In the video, he explained that he reached out to Portable directly, proposing a performance slot. However, Portable’s rejection was not just a professional snub; Speed Darlington claims it came with a personal attack on his family, specifically his mother.
This escalation has left Speed Darlington visibly upset, prompting him to decry Portable’s behaviour publicly. The invitation, intended to unite the two on stage, instead became the catalyst for their latest feud.
