Nigerian singer Habeeb Olalomi Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has lashed out at his colleague, Speed Darlington (aka Akpi), after receiving an invitation to perform at his upcoming concert.

In a fiery response, Portable dismissed the invitation, telling Speed that he was living in his imagination if he thought he could get him on stage.

He accused the indigenous rapper of trying to use him to promote his own event. Portable also took a jab at Speed Darlington’s image, insisting he was no “tout” like the Bangdadadang! hitmaker.

“I’m not a tout like you. I’m a hero, a superstar, a celebrity. I perform everywhere, I perform in London, in America,” Portable said.

He went on to set his terms, demanding a fee of N20 million for his appearance.
