Afrobeats artiste, Habeeb Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has broken his silence following his defeat to skit maker Carter Efe in a celebrity boxing match held on Saturday morning.

Speaking during a live video on his Instagram page after the bout, the singer alleged that the fight was unfairly judged.

“I was robbed. Carter Efe was not professional enough. 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 to him ought to count, even if it meets him on the shoulder or hand,” Portable said.

He also demanded payment from the organisers, claiming he was owed significant streaming revenue.

“To the organisers, I want my stream money amounting to about N200 million. Just give me my money before I cause trouble,” he added.

The singer further accused officials of bias, insisting his opponent’s physical advantage played a decisive role.

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

Despite the loss, Portable downplayed the importance of the title, saying family matters outweighed sporting accolades.

“You can only buy a belt with money, but a child cannot be bought. You people cheated. I thought I was going to dance with my belt, but I ended up with my new baby. My wife just gave birth to a bouncing baby boy. I value that more than a belt,” he said.

Portable’s reaction comes after his unanimous decision loss to Carter Efe at Chaos in the Ring 4, held at Balmoral Hall.

All three judges scored the contest 27–30 in favour of Efe, ending Portable’s reign as celebrity boxing champion.

Before the fight, Portable had expressed confidence in securing a third belt, citing previous victories over Charles Okocha and Speed Darlington.

“I will use you to collect my third belt,” he had said. “Charles Okocha was bigger than you, Speed Darlington was bigger than you, and I beat them. I will beat you now.”

However, Carter Efe dismissed the claim ahead of the bout, saying, “One punch and you fall.”

Inside the ring, Efe lived up to his words, using his height and reach advantage to control the three-round contest, landing cleaner punches and dictating the pace.
