Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has refused to back down following his loss to streamer Carter Efe, in the widely publicized celebrity boxing match.

Following Portable's loss, many celebrities and netizens have consistently thrown jabs at him following the manner of his loss.

Reacting to the mockery, the Zazuu crooner in a video broadcast on Instagram on Sunday, alleged that several individuals had placed bet on him to win, hence the organizers worked against his victory by ensuring Carter Efe's victory in order to avoid paying over N23 Billion individuals who staked on him to win.

He further bragged about his instrumental role in bringing and amplifying celebrity boxing match to Nigeria.

He said: “Na zazu, anywhere I follow is where una go follow. I’m the king while you guys are the chiefs. Everybody go dey follow my way. You guys don’t have a different pattern, different content, different music and lifeclass. Aside from being a celebrity or a musician, can’t you invent something new?

“I make Nigeria boxing big by originating celebrity fights. All of you mocking me can’t kill me. So, you guys don’t love me. To those mocking me, for your information, I have already been paid N40 million before the match, we are only fighting for the remaining N10 million.

"My fans, I was paid N40 million before the fight and was also paid N1 million each per post to promote the match five times, that is N5 million and N45, million in total. Carter Efe was throwing fowl blow on me, the referee was not fair to me. Even if I win the match, na 17 million in dollars be the money wey everybody wey do betting for my victory go collect. That’s 23 billion in naira, who go pay am, can organisers pay?

“Carter Efe’s victory was intentional. How many people bet on Carter? Most of the people bet on me. They believe in me and I believe in myself and in God. Na me be first musician wey bring boxing come Nigeria.”
