JUST IN: Portable Rejects ₦100 Million Offer to Fight VeryDarkMan, Demands ₦1 Billion Instead
Nigerian street-hop sensation Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has once again stirred headlines after publicly rejecting a ₦100 million offer to physically confront popular social media critic, VeryDarkMan (VDM). Instead, the controversial singer declared he would only accept a staggering ₦1 billion fee to engage in such a showdown, claiming that anything less would be beneath his brand and status.
The heated exchange stems from an ongoing feud between the two entertainers, which was ignited by Portable’s vocal defense of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. VeryDarkMan, known for his fearless criticism of celebrities and political figures, had repeatedly taken aim at the singer for his political allegiance. The war of words quickly spiraled into a full-blown clash on social media, with both sides exchanging fiery comments, viral videos, and even diss tracks.
Portable, never one to shy away from controversy, made his stance clear in a now-viral Instagram video. In the clip, he said, “That ₦100 million, my fans give it to me. ₦100 million is small for me to fight VDM. Let them give me ₦1 billion, I will fight him and beat him.” He went on to mock those who expected him to act for less, insisting, “If anybody can drop ₦1 billion, I will fight him. Someone you can’t hold, you are now asking me to fight and beat him. You are scared of him, you can’t jail him.”
The development has sparked massive reactions online, with fans and followers taking sides in what is fast becoming one of Nigeria’s most talked-about celebrity conflicts. Social media platforms have been flooded with commentary, memes, and support from fans on both ends of the feud. For some, Portable’s bold financial demand is laughable, while others see it as a calculated strategy to elevate his public image and monetize the buzz surrounding the controversy.
Beyond the theatrics, this clash between Portable and VeryDarkMan reflects a growing trend in Nigerian pop culture where public disputes are leveraged for media attention, brand promotion, and potential commercial deals. With Portable already enjoying fame as a street music icon and social media provocateur, his latest outburst may only further cement his reputation as an unpredictable, market-savvy figure.
As the drama continues to unfold, all eyes are now on VeryDarkMan for a possible response. Whether the feud will remain online or escalate into something more direct remains to be seen. One thing is certain: Portable knows how to keep his name in the headlines, and with his ₦1 billion demand, he has once again succeeded in capturing the nation’s attention.
