The fight, which took place at Chaos in the Ring 4, ended with Carter Efe defeating Portable and walking away with the ₦50 million prize reportedly promised by businessman E-Money.

Since the victory, Carter Efe has continued to attract cash gifts and rewards, including a reported $5,000 payout from cryptocurrency entrepreneur Habby Forex.

Speaking during a livestream session with Whitemoney, Portable claimed the outcome of the match was deliberate, insisting he sacrificed the victory because of the financial stakes.

‎”That’s why I sell that match, for my enemy. I win that match. If na concert I do, they won’t come“, he said.

The singer suggested that many people had placed bets on him to win and implied that defeating Carter Efe could have had financial consequences for those involved.

Portable’s latest comments add another twist to the drama that has surrounded the celebrity bout since its conclusion, especially after he initially accused organisers of bias and unfair judging.

The “Zazoo Zeh” crooner is no stranger to boxing headlines. In 2023, he defeated Charles Okocha in another celebrity fight following a heated dispute linked to an alleged ₦40 million deal.

That match, staged at Landmark Beach during the Heritage Boxing Entertainment event, ended in Portable’s favour after four rounds by unanimous decision.

Now, despite his loss to Carter Efe, Portable continues to keep himself firmly in public conversation both inside and outside the ring.

The singer made the announcement on Tuesday in Ede during the inauguration of the Imole Youth Campaign Mobilization Team, where he was unveiled as the committee’s chairman.

Addressing supporters at the event, Davido explained that he would be stepping away from his music activities for about two months to focus fully on political mobilization efforts across the state.

“I have put my musical career on hold for two months to come and work for my uncle, not only because he is my uncle but because he is doing a good job and still has more to accomplish. The job is not done,” he said.

The Afrobeats star stressed that youth engagement would play a major role in the election, describing the mobilisation committee as one of the most important arms of the campaign structure.

“We are all here to support him to win the election with our influence. This is one of the most important committees because it focuses on youths,” he added.

Davido also charged members of the team to begin grassroots outreach across Osun’s local government areas, urging them to actively communicate the governor’s achievements and plans to residents.

“Let us carry out door-to-door mobilisation across all local governments, showcasing what the governor has achieved and what he intends to do. Engage people within your communities and communicate the governor’s programmes effectively,” he added.

The move further highlights Davido’s growing involvement in politics and governance conversations, especially within Osun State, where he has consistently shown strong public support for his uncle’s administration.

The award-winning singer disclosed a recent livestream, where he spoke casually about his educational ambitions while interacting with fans online.

According to Davido, the postgraduate program will not be at Adeleke University, despite assumptions from some followers who believed he might choose the institution founded by his family.

“I want to do my Master’s next year,” he said.

When asked if the programme would be at Adeleke University, the singer replied: “No, in UK, a one-year course in Political science. I have my BSc already.”

Davido further explained that the program would follow the typical one-year structure common with many Master’s degrees in the UK.

The announcement has since sparked reactions online, with fans praising the singer for prioritising education despite his global success in music and business.

Beyond his chart dominance and international accolades, Davido has often spoken proudly about academics. In 2022, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in music from Adeleke University after previously studying business administration at Babcock University.

For many supporters, the latest revelation adds another layer to the artist’s public image, showing a side that continues to value personal growth alongside fame and entertainment success.

The recognition marks another major milestone for Afrobeats on the global stage, further highlighting the genre’s growing cultural influence beyond Africa.

Davido joins an accomplished 2026 class that includes rapper Ludacris, gospel leader Paul S. Morton, and the late former Atlanta mayor Maynard Jackson.

The induction ceremony is scheduled to take place on June 1 in Atlanta’s Historic Westside, along Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and Northside Drive, just outside Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Founded through a partnership between the Black American Music Association and the Georgia Entertainment Caucus, the Walk of Fame was created to celebrate individuals and organisations that have significantly shaped Black entertainment and culture across the world.

Since its launch in 2021, the landmark has become home to bronze and gold plaques honouring some of the most influential figures in music and entertainment history.

Davido’s induction places him alongside legendary names such as Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Usher, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, and Tyler Perry, as well as cultural icons like James Brown, Quincy Jones, and Stevie Wonder.

His induction also carries deeper symbolic weight for Afrobeats’ history. Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti had previously been honoured by the Walk of Fame, making Davido’s recognition feel like a continuation of African music’s lasting impact on global Black culture.

For many fans, the moment represents more than an individual achievement; it is another sign of how far Nigerian music has traveled, from local streets to some of the world’s most respected cultural platforms.

Positioned as a direct follow-up to his 2020 breakout body of work, the 6-track EP doesn’t just revisit familiar themes; it expands them. Where the original project captured hunger and ambition, this sequel leans into growth, authority, and the reality of success earned the hard way.

From the opening track, BORN TO BE GREAT, Jeriq sets a commanding tone. The production feels cinematic, giving room for his gritty delivery to cut through with purpose. It’s the kind of introduction that immediately signals intent: this is not a comeback, it’s a continuation of dominance.

Across the project, he paints a raw picture of life from the South-East, blending trap-heavy instrumentals with his signature use of Igbo expressions. Songs like PAIN and TEN STREET COMMANDMENT dig deeper into the cost of elevation, touching on betrayal, responsibility, and the unseen weight that comes with rising from the trenches.

There’s also noticeable growth in the soundscape. With production led by Dr Jayswaarg and Theevandrillist, the EP balances polish with street authenticity. The beats feel refined, but they don’t lose the edge that defines Jeriq’s identity.

Lyrically, he moves with confidence, switching between English, Pidgin, and rich Igbo proverbs. It’s a style that remains deeply rooted while still pushing forward.

Even when he leans into darker reflections, there’s a steady undercurrent of gratitude and triumph most evident on the closing track, UBIAM ANA, which carries a reflective, almost spiritual tone.

Released under his IYOO CARTEL imprint, the project is already gaining traction, particularly in the South-East, where his influence remains strongest. But its reach feels wider this time, as more listeners connect with the authenticity behind the music.

More than just a sequel, HOOD BOY DREAMS 2 feels like a statement of arrival. It tells the story of an artist who has moved beyond survival and is now defining his own lane, not just participating in the new wave of Nigerian hip-hop but actively shaping it.

In a viral clip making the rounds on social media, Portable spoke candidly about the impact both artists had on his journey, drawing a sharp line between what he described as opportunity and advice.

Reflecting on his breakthrough moment, the singer credited Olamide with playing a decisive role in changing his life, particularly through their collaboration on his hit track “Zazoo Zehh,” which propelled him into the spotlight.

Portable said: “The very first day I met Olamide, he gave me a verse. He didn’t buy me food, he gave me my future.”

However, his comments took a different turn when addressing his encounter with Davido. According to Portable, their interaction did not translate into the kind of support he was hoping for at the time.

He said: “You took me to a restaurant to eat and that’s where you started giving me bad advice. If you wanted to help, you’d have helped.”

The remarks have since generated mixed reactions online, with fans debating Portable’s perspective while revisiting the roles both Olamide and Davido have played in supporting emerging talents within the Nigerian music industry.

As with many of his public statements, Portable’s comments have added another layer to ongoing conversations about mentorship, opportunity, and what true support looks like for rising artists navigating the industry.

“Davido never helped me, he only gave me lot of bad advice and bought food for me the first time we met in a restaurant. Second time we met in a club, he bought alcohol for me but never gave me a verse”

The track arrives shortly after his standout contributions to Teni’s “Zion” and Shoday’s “Come Kulosa,” further reinforcing a busy and experimental year for the YBNL boss.

Unlike the gritty street energy that first defined his rise, Rock Me Gentle leans fully into a smoother, more polished “soft life” direction, a space Olamide has increasingly embraced in recent years.

It presents a more relaxed version of the veteran artiste, one that feels at ease with luxury and calm reflection rather than chaos and urgency.

Built on warm, atmospheric production, the song rides on a steady bassline layered with soft, highlife-inspired guitar textures. Olamide’s delivery is intentionally laid-back, almost whispered at points, showing restraint and control rather than his earlier rapid-fire rap style.

The record itself sits comfortably in a mid-tempo pocket, making it feel tailor-made for late-night drives, quiet moments, and lounge settings, a clear departure from the harder-edged sound associated with his early street-hop dominance and even his UY Scuti era.

Lyrically, Rock Me Gentle explores love from a more mature angle. Olamide reflects on stability, emotional peace, and the comfort of a relationship that doesn’t demand excess noise or effort. Instead of heavy metaphors and braggadocio, he opts for a softer, more poetic tone that highlights growth and emotional balance.

Distributed under YBNL/EMPIRE, the single is already being positioned as another strong statement from an artist who has consistently refused to be boxed into a single sound or identity.

At this stage in his career, Rock Me Gentle feels less like reinvention and more like refinement — a calm, controlled expression of an artist fully aware of his legacy and comfortable with where he stands.

Dropped on May 1, 2026, the project has quickly grown into one of the biggest African releases of the year, sparking conversations across streaming platforms and pushing Asake into yet another historic chapter of his career.

One of the standout milestones came in the United Kingdom, where M$NEY soared to No. 1 on the Apple Music chart. The feat didn’t just add another trophy to his cabinet; it also made him the first African artist to have five different projects reach the top spot on UK Apple Music.

That achievement carries extra weight considering how pivotal the UK has been to his rise. Over the years, Asake has built a strong connection with listeners there, from sold-out shows to consistent chart success. This latest milestone shows that his fanbase in the region remains both loyal and influential.

But the momentum didn’t stop in the UK.

On Spotify, Asake reached a new career peak by becoming the highest-charting African act ever on the platform’s Global Top Artists ranking. The accomplishment marks a significant moment not just for him, but for African music on the global stage.

His presence was also strongly felt across broader digital metrics, with reports placing him at No. 15 on the World’s Global Digital Artists list, a reflection of just how widely M$NEY is being streamed across different platforms.

Taken together, these numbers tell a bigger story. Since breaking into the mainstream, Asake has built a reputation for consistency, speed, and impact, delivering projects that don’t just trend but reshape conversations around Afrobeats.

With M$NEY, he reinforces that position. The album isn’t just another successful release; it’s a statement of sustained dominance in the streaming era.

At a time when Nigerian music continues to expand its global footprint, Asake finds himself right at the centre of that movement, setting new benchmarks and showing just how far African pop can go.

The singer was billed to headline an event at Secret Place Ikate Elegushi alongside Zlatan Ibile as part of the venue’s fifth anniversary celebration. However, despite a strong turnout of fans, Davido was unable to make it to the show.

Reactions quickly followed both at the venue and online, as attendees waited for the award-winning artist who never took the stage.

Addressing the situation the following day via Instagram, Davido explained that the setback was beyond his control, linking it to broader logistical issues affecting travel.

“The world happened to me yesterday. These wars around the world have really started penetrating. Finding fuel was a problem yesterday to even fly. Everything had to be rescheduled,” he said.

He went on to express regret to fans who showed up for the performance, assuring them that efforts are already underway to make up for the missed appearance.

“To my fans that pulled up… sorry I missed it. We’re going to run it back again soon,” he added.

Davido also extended congratulations to the organisers of the event, reaffirming his support while promising a return at a later date.

The incident highlights growing concerns around aviation fuel supply and rising operational costs, issues that have begun to affect flight schedules and logistics in different parts of the world, with ripple effects now reaching the entertainment scene.

Speaking on a recent episode of the Selah Meditate podcast, the son of Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti argued that his kind of music, rooted in social commentary, has long faced resistance at home.

According to him, the influence of his father and other conscious musicians once made authorities wary of the power music could wield, prompting a shift in support toward less politically vocal artists.

“The impact of Fela and his contemporaries who spoke truth to power sacred the government. They made the government realised the power of artistry. So, the government invested more in artists who don’t make conscious music than artists who sing about realities.

“When I am in Nigeria, I don’t fear to say whatever I want to say. That is a lot of people are saying that I should be cancelled. I have been cancelled for about 13 years now after I performed conscious music at former Lagos State Governor Ambode’s event. Even before then, my music was heavily restricted.

“I have been cancelled for le think I am not cancelled because I am doing well. Nigeria has cancelled me long time but Nigeria is just like a really small percentage of my market. So, being cancelled doesn’t really affect me.”

Reflecting on his experience, Seun Kuti maintained that the alleged blacklisting has had a limited impact on his overall career, pointing out that his audience extends far beyond Nigeria.

He added that many artists worry about being sidelined locally because the Nigerian market forms the core of their fanbase, a pressure he says does not weigh on him in the same way.

His remarks have since reignited conversations about creative freedom, industry politics, and the place of conscious music in today’s Afrobeats landscape.

The singer, still reacting to the outcome of his bout against comedian Carter Efe, expressed frustration over what he described as selective support within the music industry.

According to him, many of his colleagues who rarely attended his concerts were quick to attend the boxing event, not out of support, but to witness his loss.

In a series of emotional statements, Portable claimed that while his music shows often go unnoticed, the same figures turned out in numbers when it came to the fight.

His words …

“If I host show them no go come. My concerts them no dey come. But as then see boxing all the celebrities come. Na my downfall them come to watch. Ehena. My concerts dem no dey come.

Those who dey hat£ on me Dey celebrate belt wey I don collect 2 time’s. if too say na music show concert them no go come as them won see my down fall all my enemi£s come out to f!ght against me I don’t only f!ght Carter na all my £nemies Dey him back dey celebrate pass who get belt.

God pass them I Dey celebrate new Born Glory Una still Dey hat£ on me you, you on your tv Dey look for my down fall, God use am bless me with Pikin. Some of Una for this music industry no fit give woman belle…

God pass Una na me collect 40m before I enter ring na only 10m me and him Dey f!ght for so na belt you never see before. See me see Davido and Zlatan Dey use my my boxing belt Dey enter club. A!yeyin ti baj£ you fit get money make you no get sense. You fit blow make you no fit enter ring f!ght me. I Don first Una enter ring f!ght I no be Una mate for that way.

Una music no Dey tend again all my songs don cover Una shine why them no go Dey vex. Zlatan Dey run all peoples page wey post bad about me to drop h@te comment na yourself you Dey do…”

Beyond the outburst, Portable insisted that the loss has not affected his achievements, pointing out that he earned significantly from the fight and remains focused on his personal life, particularly the recent birth of his child, which he described as a greater blessing.

He also alleged that some figures within the industry are actively fueling negative conversations about him online, a claim that adds another layer to the ongoing tension surrounding his name.

Despite the controversy, the situation continues to stir reactions across social media, further highlighting the rivalry, emotions, and spectacle that now surround celebrity boxing and its growing intersection with Nigeria’s music scene.

The bout, which took place on May 1, 2026, at Balmoral Hall Federal Palace Hotel, saw Carter Efe put up a dominant performance across three rounds.

At the end of the fight, judges scored it 27–30 in favour of the comedian, handing Portable his first defeat in the growing celebrity boxing scene.

The match had attracted heavy attention ahead of fight night, especially due to Portable’s confident build-up.

The “Zazoo Zeh” crooner had publicly insisted he would extend his winning streak after previous bouts with Speed Darlington and Charles Okocha. At one point, he even visited a traditional spiritualist while expressing strong belief in victory.

However, the outcome went the other way, with Carter Efe controlling the tempo of the fight and securing a clear win on points.

Following the result, reactions poured in from across the entertainment industry. Artists like Zlatan Ibile and Small Doctor were among those who took to social media to celebrate Carter Efe’s triumph, with some also throwing playful jabs at Portable over the loss.

A viral video later showed Carter Efe continuing the celebration at a nightclub, where he was spotted with Davido and fellow singer Peruzzi.

The clip captured a lively moment as the trio joined in the post-fight excitement, further amplifying the buzz around the victory.

The night ultimately marked a turning point in the celebrity boxing conversation, with Carter Efe walking away as the new talking point of the entertainment crossover sport.
