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.
VeryDarkMan shares that he was warned by Burna Boy once that the Nigerians he fights for will one day turn on him.
He shared “Burna Boy warned me, he said the Nigerians I’m fighting for will backstab me. They’ll put knife in your neck if they have the opportunity.”
“Fighting for Nigerians is tiring. Same Nigerians that tried to cancel Burna of their own because of what happened in his UK show. Una international star. Just because him tell one person make him Comot from him show, Una join them everybody wan cancel am.”
