Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington has expressed deep regret over inviting fellow artist Portable to his event, following a dramatic fallout between the two. What was initially planned as an energetic and star-studded performance quickly turned into a feud, with both musicians engaging in a public war of words.
The controversy erupted shortly after the event, as Speed Darlington took to social media to vent his frustration over Portable’s behavior. He accused the “Zazu Zeh” crooner of being disrespectful, unprofessional, and causing unnecessary chaos at the show. Fans were quick to react, with many siding with one artist over the other, further fueling the drama.
What Led to the Clash?
Sources close to the event revealed that tensions had been simmering between Speed Darlington and Portable even before the performance. The disagreement reportedly stemmed from issues related to payment, stage time, and artistic differences. While Speed Darlington envisioned a structured and well-organized show, Portable’s unpredictable nature made things difficult to manage.
On the night of the performance, things escalated when Portable allegedly arrived late and began making demands that were not part of the initial agreement. This reportedly led to an altercation backstage, with both artists exchanging harsh words. The situation quickly spilled onto social media, where Speed Darlington openly criticized Portable’s attitude and work ethic.
Speed Darlington’s Explosive Rant
Following the incident, Speed Darlington didn’t hold back in his criticism of Portable. In a viral video, he lamented that inviting Portable was the “worst decision” he had made, stating that he had expected a professional collaboration but was instead met with chaos. He went on to accuse Portable of lacking discipline and being ungrateful despite being given a platform.
In his characteristic blunt style, Speed Darlington suggested that Portable’s growing reputation for controversy was no longer just an act but a real issue that made him difficult to work with. His statements sparked mixed reactions online, with some fans agreeing with him, while others felt he should have anticipated the challenges of working with someone as unpredictable as Portable.
Portable Fires Back: “I Made Your Show Lively”
Not one to back down from a fight, Portable swiftly responded to Speed Darlington’s criticism, defending his actions and taking jabs at the rapper. He claimed that without his presence, the show would have been dull and that his energy was the main attraction for fans. In an Instagram live session, Portable insisted that Speed Darlington should be grateful instead of complaining.
Portable also accused Speed Darlington of being ungrateful and trying to use his name for clout. He mocked the rapper’s career, claiming that he brought more star power to the show than Speed Darlington himself. The back-and-forth exchange between the two artists continued to dominate social media, with fans picking sides in the feud.
The Bigger Picture: A Pattern of Public Clashes
This incident is just one of many controversies surrounding Portable, who has built a reputation for feuding with fellow artists, industry executives, and even law enforcement. His brash personality and unfiltered statements have often landed him in trouble, making headlines for reasons beyond his music.
Speed Darlington, on the other hand, is also known for his outspoken nature and tendency to engage in social media drama. While both artists have built strong fan bases through their antics, this latest clash raises questions about professionalism in the Nigerian music industry and whether such controversies help or hinder their careers.
Conclusion: Will They Ever Work Together Again?
Despite the heated exchange, industry experts believe that this feud, like many before it, could eventually fade as both artists move on to new projects. However, Speed Darlington’s strong words suggest that he is unlikely to collaborate with Portable again anytime soon.
Whether this dispute will lead to a lasting rift or a future reconciliation remains to be seen. For now, it has certainly provided another round of entertainment for fans who thrive on the drama that often accompanies the Nigerian music scene.
