Speed Darlington in Police Custody Over Burna Boy Defamation Case

Human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju has revealed his unsuccessful attempt to secure the release of singer Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, who is in police custody.
The singer was reportedly transferred from Owerri, the Imo State capital, to Abuja on Tuesday after being rearrested by the Nigeria Police Force.
Speed Darlington’s latest troubles stem from allegations of cyberstalking and defamation involving Burna Boy, whose real name is Damini Ogulu.
Burna Boy, a Grammy-winning artist often regarded as one of the leading figures in Afrobeats, has been a source of inspiration to many but is now at the center of this legal controversy.
The allegations suggest that Speed Darlington made online statements that were perceived as defamatory toward Burna Boy, leading to the police action.
Adeyanju, known for his advocacy and bold stance on human rights issues, shared an update about the case on his official Facebook page on Wednesday night.
He confirmed meeting Speed Darlington in Abuja after the police moved him from Owerri.
However, his attempts to secure bail for the artist were unsuccessful.
He expressed his frustration with the situation, pointing out what he described as a contradiction in Burna Boy’s image.
Adeyanju noted that Burna Boy often portrays himself as a voice for the oppressed, referencing his music that highlights social issues and injustice.
Yet, according to Adeyanju, the artist appears to be using his influence to push for legal actions that could silence Speed Darlington.
Adeyanju wrote, “The Nigerian police brought our client, Speed Darlington, to Abuja from Owerri this evening, and I just met him.
They have refused to release him on bail over allegations of defamation against Burna Boy.
Burna Boy, who sings about oppression in his songs, is now using the police to oppress Akpi [Speed Darlington].”

“One Punch from Me Will Scatter Your Face” – Portable Tells Bobrisky

Controversial singer Portable has stirred reactions after throwing jabs at popular crossdresser Bobrisky over his recent name change. Bobrisky, born Idris Okuneye, recently announced that he now identifies as Afolashade Amope Okuneye, sparking mixed reactions online. Portable, however, wasn’t having it as he mocked the crossdresser in a video shared on Instagram.
In the video, Portable questioned the reason behind the name switch, teasing that money had been used to change not just the name but even Bobrisky’s chest. He didn’t stop there — the singer dared Bobrisky to a physical fight, boldly stating he would only show up if a Ferrari and N100 million were involved. Portable also sent a message to Bobrisky’s mother, urging her to caution her son. He went further to boast that a single punch from him would ruin Bobrisky’s face, daring him to return to Nigeria for a one-on-one fight.
Meanwhile, Bobrisky recently revealed his new identity on Instagram. He shared that after undergoing several surgical procedures, he now sees himself as a full woman and insists people should accept him that way.
In his words, “It’s time you all accept that Bob is now a woman. I’ve done everything — congratulations to me. I can now enjoy life like every other woman. I’m proud of myself. No amount of insults or trolls will stop me from getting what I want. They tried to bring me down, but they forgot I also have a coconut head. For those asking if I have a womb — I don’t need it. I love how married men spend heavily on me, and I don’t have to carry unwanted pregnancy that will scatter their homes. I’m here to keep marriages safe.”
