Portable Visits Babalawo Ahead Of Fight With Carter Efe (Video)

LAGOS, Nigeria — Portable has ignited fresh online buzz after a video emerged showing the controversial singer consulting a traditionalist, popularly known as Babalawo, ahead of his anticipated boxing match against content creator Carter Efe.

In the clip making rounds on social media, the Babalawo is seen conducting rituals while chanting incantations, seeking spiritual intervention on the likely outcome of the fight.

Sources close to the development told NaijaChoice News that specific prayers were offered during the session, with the traditionalist invoking that Carter Efe should lose his fighting ability on the day of the bout.

From the video the Babalawo prayed that Carter Efe would forget how to throw punches and even struggle to lift his arm when the bell rings.

Portable, known for his outspoken nature and street credibility, has built a reputation for blending entertainment with unconventional approaches, a trait that resonates with many young Nigerians navigating success in unconventional ways.
