Nigerian singer Speed Darlington has stirred controversy online after accusing Portable of using juju (native charm) to win their recently concluded celebrity boxing match.
In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), Speed Darlington insisted that he wasn’t tired during the match but suddenly suffered a shoulder dislocation, which he suspects was caused by spiritual means.
“I didn’t feel weak. My shoulder just moved on its own. Portable brought juju to the ring,” he alleged in the now-viral clip.
The accusation comes days after the dramatic match that saw Portable crowned the Street King, while Speed Darlington exited the ring with his arm in a bandage.
“I don't know what exactly happened, maybe it was the juju that Portable brought. I wasn't tired, but my hand got dislocated.”🧎😭
