The afrobeats singer also complained about the physical mismatch, explaining that his opponent’s height and reach gave him an unfair advantage.

“I was robbed. Carter Efe was wrestling while I was throwing punches. He was struggling with his long hands and height. I threw him many punches. Why didn’t you people count them? Any blow that I threw at Carter supposed to count. Hello organisers, I want my stream money N200 million stream money. Just give me my money before I start trouble.”

The Zazu crooner further accused Carter Efe of relying on his size rather than skill, saying the fight was not judged fairly.

“Carter Efe was just holding my neck. I was punching him, too, but you people are not talking about that. They knew he was tall and had long hands, but still put him in a boxing match with me. They cheated me.”

Despite the disappointment, Portable shared happier news in the same video, announcing that his wife, Bewaji, had just delivered their baby boy.

“Well, you can only buy belt with money but a child cannot be bought. My wife, Bewaji, just gave birth to a bouncing baby boy, I value that more than a belt. Congratulations to me. My fans rejoice with me.”

Portable criticises Nigerian pastors over Jos killings

In a previous report, Legit.ng disclosed that Portable criticised Nigerian pastors for keeping quiet after the March 29 terrorist attacks in Jos, Plateau State, which left many Christians dead.

The singer accused pastors of hypocrisy, stating that they protect themselves with bulletproof cars but fail to speak up when their members are being killed by terrorists.

He wondered why pastors are not leading protests to Aso Rock despite repeated killings of Christians, noting that Islamic clerics and traditionalists would never remain silent if their followers were attacked.
