Afrobeats megastar Burna Boy has reportedly thrown down a staggering N200 million challenge that’s shaking up the Nigerian entertainment scene. The Grammy-winning artist has promised to gift the sum to controversial singer Portable—on one condition: he must face nightlife heavyweight Cubana Chief Priest in a boxing match.
The story first gained traction after Portable, widely known for his eccentric persona and street anthem “Zazoo Zehh,” dared the popular socialite to a fight. The bold callout followed Portable’s recent victory over fellow entertainer Speed Darlington in a match that ended with a technical knockout, further boosting the singer’s self-styled image as a fearless street warrior.
Now, things have escalated wildly. Burna Boy’s name entered the fray after a viral screenshot shared by social media user and devoted fan Benny7gg appeared to show the Afrobeats star reacting from a secondary account. The comment, which has been lighting up timelines ever since, read:
“Walahi! Na 200m I go give zazu” — an apparent reference to Portable’s nickname and a pledge few saw coming.
Benny7gg added fuel to the online firestorm by posting the screenshot with a cheeky caption:
“Burna Boy says he’d give Portable 200 million Naira if he gets in the ring with Cubana Chief Priest. 😂”
Though Burna Boy has yet to officially confirm the statement through his main accounts, the buzz around the screenshot has sparked a mix of disbelief, excitement, and memes across Nigerian social media. Many fans are already fantasizing about a high-stakes celebrity showdown—one that could rival any Pay-Per-View event in drama and entertainment value.
Portable, never one to shy away from controversy or spectacle, has yet to publicly accept or decline the offer. However, given his penchant for theatrics and a newfound appetite for boxing, observers say it may only be a matter of time before he jumps at the opportunity—not just for the adrenaline rush, but for the jaw-dropping cash reward.
Cubana Chief Priest, known more for popping champagne and dominating the Lagos nightlife scene than for throwing punches, has remained characteristically silent. Whether he views the challenge as a publicity stunt or a serious invitation is anyone’s guess, but his next move will likely determine how far this proposed brawl actually goes.
Social media continues to churn with speculation, edits, and fan-made posters as netizens imagine what a Portable vs. Cubana Chief Priest bout might look like. Some are calling for official sponsors, while others are urging the entertainment titans to settle their differences in the ring for charity—or at the very least, for the culture.
Whether the N200 million prize ever materializes or not, Burna Boy’s alleged offer has reignited conversations about celebrity clashes, entertainment as sport, and the ever-blurring lines between music, drama, and spectacle in Nigeria’s pop culture scene.
