‘I for do my own juju’ — Speed Darlington accuses Portable of using ‘Jazz’ after losing boxing fight

Recall that on April 18, 2025, Speed Darlington and Portable, real name Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, finally tackled each other in the ring after months of blasting themselves on social media. The outcome of the bout saw Akpi being taken away in an ambulance.

Hours after the match, Speed Darlington took to social media to address Nigerians and give a reason for the way the match ended. According to Akpi, Portable must have used black magic, aka juju, on him because he wasn’t tired.

The rapper also explained that he had a dislocated shoulder during the match, probably because of the wide punches he was throwing. Akpi added that he wished he also used ‘juju’ on Portable.

Speed Darlington then expressed regret about not getting the prize money, which he had planned to use to build a swimming pool in his village.

In his words:

“My shoulder come dislocate, I no know wetin happen, whether na the juju wey Portable carry come. I neva tire o, my shoulder just comot. It wasn’t a sharp pain but I couldn’t use it anymore, it was out of commission. Omo, me I think say na because I dey swing wide, if to say e break, I for no do this one, e no break, e just dislocate but dem don put am back in. Ambulance dey there so they put am back in but they say if you continue, e go end up surgery. The thing wey dey pain me now na all that money wey dey go carry give Portable, me I wan build swimming pool for my village, e pain me, I for do my own juju. That’s what it is mehn, the fight is over.”
