Speed Darlington Says Burna Boy Faked Scandal to Prove He Isn’t Gay
Speed Darlington has weighed in on the ongoing controversy involving Burna Boy and socialite Sophia Egbueje, claiming the entire saga was staged.
The drama started after an audio recording leaked, where Sophia accused Burna Boy of having an affair with her and failing to buy her a Lamborghini as promised. The situation quickly became a hot topic on Nigerian social media.
However, Speed Darlington believes there’s more to the story. In a video posted on Instagram, he alleged that Burna Boy orchestrated the scandal to convince people he isn’t gay. He even doubled down on his past claim that Burna’s Grammy win was linked to an affair with American music mogul Diddy.
“You’re stressing yourself trying to prove to everyone that you’re not gay,” Speed Darlington said. “You and that girl planned this. You knew it would damage your name, but you paid her to act like an escort so people would believe you like women. If you’re gay, just own it.”
It has been reported that Nigerian dancer Poco Lee has been arrested in the UK. It was shared that the singer was arrested based on rape allegations against him.
The case was also shared by a US artist, Ms Jorgi, who said she had an encounter with the singer to play her song, after which she and her friend were allegedly sexually assaulted by him. She added that they were able to fight him off and run away.
The singer reportedly said he wished she had reported the alleged incident earlier to avoid another case like this.
The Jonas Brothers are back, and they have announced that they will be having concerts at Madison Square Garden on August 20, August 21 and August 22, 2026.
The brothers: Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas, will be bringing back their Burning Up Tour, performing some of their biggest hits and fan favourites as part of the special three-night concert.
The shows are a celebration of their iconic 2008 Burning Up Tour, and the third Madison Square Garden date was added following strong fan demand.
Fans are excited to see the brothers reunite on stage and take over the famous New York venue for three consecutive nights.
Nigerian singer Davido speaks to his colleagues and shares that it is time for them to take a step back and let upcoming and rising stars shine.
“This is me and my contemporaries’ last 5–6 years. I am not going to be 40, still dragging the spotlight with guys in their 20s. Jay-Z took a break and he is doing his thing.”
“I can take a 10-year break, come back, and still do a 50-arena tour. I have the catalogue. I might decide not to make another song for the rest of my life, and nobody is touching my catalogue.”
“There are so many other things music should be able to help you branch into. I am not saying we should retire. But I am not going to be 40 and dragging the spotlight with some 20-year-old kid.”
