Speed Darlington Mocks Burna Boy After Release from Police Custody
Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington, also known as Akpi, has spoken out following his release from police custody after a dispute involving Burna Boy.
The rapper, known for his controversial statements, was recently arrested after making comments questioning the legitimacy of Burna Boy’s Grammy win and drawing a connection between the Nigerian star and American music mogul Diddy.
Darlington had previously released a video suggesting that Burna Boy’s Grammy award might not be as genuine as it seemed, sparking a feud.
The comments apparently caught the attention of Burna Boy, leading to the rapper’s arrest on charges related to defamation.
In a defiant video after his release, Speed Darlington made it clear that the situation hadn’t shaken him.
He confidently boasted about how challenging it would be for anyone to bring him down.
In the video, he mockingly addressed Burna Boy, saying, “It takes 30 million to carry me.”
He also expressed how he was unfazed by his time in custody, recounting his experience with both the EFCC and DSS.
According to Darlington, the EFCC provided him with a bed, while the DSS took care of his meals.
He added, “I’ve survived ground zero. What more can you do to me? If I go missing, it’s you. But if you go missing, it’s not me.”
In the video’s caption, Darlington reaffirmed his stance as a major figure, writing, “Big fish; it takes 30 million to carry me,” doubling down on his bold claims and seemingly throwing more shade at Burna Boy.
This isn’t the first time Speed Darlington has found himself embroiled in controversies, as he has built a reputation for his outspoken and unfiltered opinions on various Nigerian celebrities and public figures.
His ongoing feud with Burna Boy continues to attract attention, with fans and followers keenly watching to see how it all unfolds.
Nigerian actress Juliana Olayode expresses her worry regarding the increase in sex rates among teenagers.
The actress took to social media and expressed her shock at the things she has heard from teenagers, claiming that it is a serious issue.
“What is your body count? The things I hear these days, especially from teenagers, leave me speechless and break my heart. While some people would say, ‘Enjoy your life while you’re young, make all the mistakes you want now,’ I don’t — that includes sexually.”
“Sex is spiritual. People only talk about the fun part; nobody really talks about the spiritual aspect of it. Sex and other sexual activities are for MARRIED people. I can write an epistle about this.”

Ghanaian-American singer Amaarae goes viral after sharing her thoughts on the current state of Afrobeats, stating that the genre has stalled.
She expressed concern about how Afrobeats is becoming too repetitive and urged artists to experiment with new sounds.
“Afrobeats and African music need to evolve. It needs to evolve in a direction that is fearless, and I think right now artists have made so much money from a certain type of sound that they are afraid to step out of the boundaries because they are probably more focused on the financial aspect of it. And as a result, I think Afrobeats has stalled.”
The singer then gave an example, commenting on how Rema did just that with his recent album “HEIS”.
