After the fourth round, Nigerian street-pop artist Habeeb Badmus, aka Portable, was declared winner of the celebrity boxing fight against Nollywood actor, Charles Okocha, on Wednesday.

The fight, which was sanctioned by Heritage Boxing Entertainment, held at Landmark Beach in Victoria Island, Lagos State, started after 1am and lasted about 40 minutes.

The pair had finally settled their scores with their fists after Portable alleged contractual issues, which led them to engage in an online feud over an alleged N40m rip-off.

Portable claimed Okocha cheated him out of the money, only sending him a small amount, contrary to a contractual agreement.

In Round One, Portable took the lead early with a confident start.

He was adorning a blue pair of knickers and a blue armless top to match.

He also took full control of the ring and looked to find his range from several jabs to the body of Okocha, who was wearing a red top and red shorts.

In Round Two, Okocha was back in the game as he had been avoiding blows from Portable, and everything seemed to be in his favour.

Okocha gained more ground than Portable had in the entire bout, and he was not giving up on amassing more points despite being in the pole position to win.

His jabs even brought Portable down, and the referee had to come in between them.

In Round Three, Portable was running around the ring to see if he could bounce back into the game and Okocha was following him around.

Portable seized some opportunities to retaliate the blows that were descending on him from the round two fight.

In Round Four, the two celebrity boxers were tired, but Portable was still throwing some direct punches, which caught Okocha unaware.

Meanwhile, when the referee called for Round Five to decide the winner, both of them declined to continue and this led to the eventual announcement of Portable as the winner.

Although Portable did not win through TKO, KO, or even by points recorded, with his victory, he clinched the belt while solidifying his position as the deserving champion in the hard-fought bout.

Legendary Nigerian singer, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has shared his opinion on the issue of mediocrity in the music industry that has led to some artists being tagged as “wack.”

Speaking in a video broadcast, the African Queen crooner claiming that there is no such thing as “wack artists,” arguing that every music is tailored made and acceptance is narrowed down to promotion and other commercial strategies/reasons.

He said, “Every music is tailored made to evoke an emotion, to create a spirit. There is nothing like a wack artiste. That is why many of the so-called wack artists are more bankable than the talented ones. Because they understand that it is not the art itself, it is the marketing of that art.

“No matter how talented you are or how sweet your music is, there is no music that everybody likes. Everything is narrowed down to the marketing, promotion and the business. It is only those who resonate with your music that will like it naturally.”

Grammy-nominated singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has recorded a financial win following Nigeria’s opening victory at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Ahead of the Super Eagles’ Group C match against Tanzania on Tuesday, the singer placed a $25,000 bet that both teams would score during the encounter.

He later shared a screenshot of the betting slip on his X page with the caption, “Let’s get this W Nigeria.”

The prediction proved correct on Tuesday night in Fes, Morocco, as Nigeria defeated Tanzania 2 to 1, earning Davido a payout of $96,564, estimated at about N140 million.

The match did not start on a positive note for Nigeria, as Tanzania scored first against the run of play.

The Super Eagles, however, responded strongly, drew level, and went on to secure the win through a late goal by Ademola Lookman.

The victory gave Nigeria a start to their campaign and improved their chances in Group C as they pursue a fourth Africa Cup of Nations title.

This is not the first time Davido has publicly supported the Super Eagles with a high-value wager.

Before Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup qualifier against Gabon, he staked $10,000 on a Super Eagles victory and both teams to score. Nigeria lost the match, and the bet was unsuccessful.

The Super Eagles will face their next Group C opponents as they aim to build on their opening win and secure early qualification for the knockout stage.

Davido’s win comes days after the 33-year-old singer featured at the opening ceremony of the 2025 AFCON in Morocco, where he joined global music stars at the tournament’s kick-off event.

Moments before hosts Morocco faced Comoros at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, Davido led the ceremony’s flagship performance titled Le Show, alongside French Montana and Moroccan producer RedOne.

The performance ranked among the most visually striking opening moments in AFCON history, blending music, light and movement in a carefully choreographed display aimed at a global television audience beyond Africa.

Davido appeared as one of Africa’s most influential music figures of the modern era, reflecting the continent’s growing cultural presence on the world stage.

As described by the Confederation of African Football, “the Nigerian Afrobeats star has helped carry African music onto the world’s biggest stages, with a sound associated with celebration, confidence and continental pride, qualities CAF believes mirror the spirit of the Africa Cup of Nations.”

French Montana, who was born in Morocco and raised in the United States, also performed, with his appearance highlighting Morocco’s position as host and its cultural links between Africa and the wider world.

Completing the trio was RedOne, the Moroccan-born producer whose work has shaped global pop music across continents.
