Portable rejects ₦100m offer, demands ₦1bn to fight VeryDarkMan

Nigerian street-pop star, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has rejected a ₦100 million offer to engage in a physical confrontation with controversial social media critic, Martins Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan (VDM). The singer insists he will only consider the proposal if he is paid ₦1 billion.

The feud between Portable and VDM escalated after the singer criticised the online commentator for repeatedly attacking President Bola Tinubu’s administration. Their dispute has since spiraled into a fierce social media clash, with both men trading verbal insults and releasing diss tracks aimed at each other.

In a video shared via Instagram, Portable dismissed the ₦100 million offer as insufficient, claiming he regularly receives such amounts from his supporters.

“That ₦100m, my fans give it to me. ₦100m is small for me to fight VDM. Let them give me ₦1 billion, I will fight him and beat him,” he said.

Portable went further to challenge the seriousness of the proposal, stating:

“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 public spat continues to garner attention across social media platforms, with fans divided over the increasingly heated rivalry.
