Since its release in 2022 as a lead single from Rema’s debut album ‘Raves & Roses,’ ‘Calm Down’ has achieved immense global success. The remix featuring Selena Gomez has sold 7 million units in the United States, earning a 7-time platinum plaque from the RIAA, making it the most commercially successful African song in the U.S. This milestone follows its achievement as the first African song to surpass a billion streams in the country, marking a significant moment for both Rema and Nigerian music.

‘Calm Down’ spent over 52 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 3, the highest for a Nigerian song and the second highest for an African song, just behind Hugh Masekela’s 1968 hit ‘Grazing In The Grass.’ The track holds multiple records, including the most-streamed Afrobeats song on Spotify with over a billion streams, and over 2 billion streams across all versions. It is also the most-viewed Nigerian music video on YouTube with over 928 million views. With its 7X platinum status, Rema is edging closer to potentially becoming the first African artist to achieve a diamond-certified song in the U.S. Following ‘Calm Down,’ Rema released the EP ‘Ravage’ and his sophomore album ‘HEIS’.

Speed Darlington is making headlines due to his insinuations about Burna Boy and Diddy, stirring a lot of controversy.

He implied that Burna Boy may have engaged in inappropriate activities with Diddy to secure his 2021 Grammy‏ Award for his Twice As Tall album.

These claims come as Diddy faces serious accusations of being a predator who allegedly exploits both men and women.

Notably, a rapper has come forward claiming that Diddy promised him a Grammy in exchange for intimate relations, which Diddy allegedly failed to deliver on.

Diddy’s reputation has been tainted by other shocking allegations, including claims that he was involved in the tragic death of Tupac Shakur.

According to court confessions, Diddy’s name was mentioned 75 times, with one key testimony suggesting he paid $1 million for the hit on Tupac.

Other disturbing claims emerged from his former driver, who testified that he once caught Diddy in a compromising situation with actor Will Smith.

It’s alleged that Diddy regularly hosts what he calls “all-white parties,” which witnesses have described as secretive orgy events, predominantly attended by men.

These allegations have fueled long-standing rumours about his relationships with various celebrities, including Usher, Meek Mill, and Will Smith.

One notable scandal from last year involved his ex-girlfriend Cassie, who sued him, accusing him of physical and sexual abuse throughout their decade-long relationship, which reportedly started when she was 19 and Diddy was 37.

A disturbing video allegedly shows Diddy assaulting a pregnant Cassie in a hotel lobby, although it’s claimed that Diddy paid $50,000 to have the footage destroyed.

Diddy was also linked to unsettling reports that emerged this week, stating the FBI arrested him and discovered over a thousand bottles of baby oil and lubricants at his home.

According to these reports, Diddy drugs his victims, forces them into humiliating situations, and records everything to later blackmail them.

Despite all these claims, Diddy has consistently pleaded not guilty.

However, the seriousness of the accusations has led some fans of Burna Boy, known as the Outsiders, to demand that Burna Boy take legal action against Speed Darlington for defamation.
