Portable Issues Diss Track After Disqualification in Boxing Rematch with Charles Okocha
Nigerian street‑pop singer Habeeb Okikiola, known as Portable, was disqualified in a highly publicised boxing rematch against Nollywood actor Charles Okocha at the Chaos in the Ring event in Lagos. The bout descended into a wrestling‑like scuffle, prompting security to intervene and the referee to halt the fight. Portable left the ring before a decision could be reached, was later escorted back and formally disqualified, while Okocha was declared the winner.
In response, Portable released a diss track that mocks the officiating, accuses Okocha of choking him, and threatens to settle scores through local wrestling. Okocha publicly denied Portable’s claim that he bit him, noting he wore a mouthguard and saying he would rather chew grass than bite the singer. The exchange has drawn significant attention on Nigerian social media, highlighting the blend of entertainment and sport in the country’s celebrity culture.
