However, Portable reacted strongly, accusing him of using his name for promotion. The “Zazoo” crooner stated that his performance fee is ₦20 million, implying that Speed Darlington could not afford him.
Following Portable’s response, Speed Darlington expressed regret over the invitation and responded with harsh criticism. He also recalled an incident where Portable was reportedly beaten by a friend due to an alleged case of exploitation, vowing to release the footage to embarrass him.
