Days after his defeat to skitmaker Carter Efe at the Chaos in the Ring 4 event in Lagos, controversial singer Portable has released a scathing diss track aimed at his opponent. The track also addresses what he believes went wrong during the fight.
Portable Alleges Fight Was Rigged
In the lyrics, Portable sings: “So that they wouldn’t set me up, I used streetwise. Industry don backfire. I use my song to carry them like four tyres.” Speaking after the bout, the singer insisted that his defeat was not fair. According to him, the fight was stopped prematurely to avoid a massive financial payout tied to bets placed on his victory.
He stated: “It was cheating. They couldn’t pay the money, so they rigged it. They couldn’t pay the N23 billion that people bet on me. If Portable wins, they can never pay the money.” He also argued that the stoppage was unjustified, claiming he was still capable of continuing. “They said I was panting — I did the same against Charles Okocha. All they should have done was pour water on me,” he added.
Fight Outcome and Reactions
Carter Efe was declared the winner by unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring the bout 27-30 in his favour after three rounds. Social media users reacted to Portable's diss track. @Ncnonso noted: “Portable might have been beaten by Carter but nobody can intimidate him. Portable trust in his ability. Without Portable, there will be nothing like Celebrity Fight in Nigeria. His image promoted it and I hope he is paid well for the fight.” @skood009 shared: “If Portable had won that fight, he would have been loud. He is a sore loser. Sometimes losing with pride is better than this nonsense he is doing on the TL.” @ayumzi stated: “This dude ehn... though even in America there are street gangs and all, it is a cosmic phenomenon... but understanding over here in Nigeria it has become a social epidemic, so why is he always encouraging it with his platform?” @alhajitequila commented: “Person wey choose this particular snap filter for portable God beg God for rice God go give am sand tf.”

In a related development, Carter Efe pocketed ₦50 million, a reward said to be backed by businessman Emeka Okonkwo, popularly known as E-money, following his victory over Portable. This is one of the biggest payouts seen in Nigeria’s growing celebrity boxing scene.
