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.
Burna Boy has shared his view on music, saying he doesn’t see it as a job but simply as his way of life. In a recent chat with BBC Radio 1Xtra, the Grammy-winning artist explained that making music is something he truly enjoys, not something he needs a break from.
“I don’t see music as work. It’s my life,” he said. “Why would I need a vacation from life?” He joked that unless he’s old or has a child to take care of, there’s really no reason to go on a vacation.
“It’s not like I’m out there doing heavy labour. I love what I do. If I wasn’t Burna Boy, I’d still want to be doing this. So what exactly am I taking a break from?”
Drake has weighed in on the long-running debate between US and UK rap scenes, and he made his stance crystal clear during his performance at the Wireless Festival in London on Saturday night. Midway through his set, the Canadian rapper paused to show love to the UK music scene, calling London rappers the best lyricists in the world.
He said no one, not even rappers from his home country or the US, could match the lyrical skill coming out of London. Drake said, “This isn’t just about showing love, I genuinely believe London has the best rappers. Nobody can out-rap them. No disrespect to America or Canada, but the highest level of rap is right here.”
