Speed Darlington breaks silence, talks tough following his release from prolonged incarceration

Released on Tuesday after being detained on charges of defamation and cyberstalking, Darlington had been incarcerated for making explosive accusations against Grammy-winning Burna Boy.

The rapper had publicly alleged that Burna Boy was involved in a secretive relationship with American mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, insinuating that the affair had a hand in Burna’s Grammy win.

His accusations didn’t stop there. He amplified his claims with the release of a diss track titled “Baby Oil”, in which he targeted Burna Boy, causing the controversy to spiral even further.

Darlington’s first arrest took place in October 2024, but after briefly regaining his freedom, he was rearrested on November 27, 2024, during a performance in Owerri, Imo State. His rearrest led to his extended time in Kuje prison.
