- Speed Darlington has berated those giving him unsolicited advice upon his release from police custody.
- The singer also cut ties with his lawyer and his fans have advised him against going up against fellow singer, Burna Boy.
- Taking to his Instagram page, the controversial musician asked those supporting him to get lost.
One week after his release from prison, Nigerian singer Speed Darlington has now addressed his advisers, telling them to get lost if they are fed up of supporting him through his woes.
In a fiery video posted on Instagram, the controversial artiste made it clear that he would continue living on his own terms. In his words:
“I’m about to go to the studio to record my new hit single; more music coming. My life is my content, and nobody can tell me what to post. If you’re tired of supporting me, you get lost and let my God guide me. Do you feel me?.”
He dismissed unwanted advice from people, slamming them and urging them to keep their suggestions to themselves.
Speed Darlington made it clear that he no longer fears going to prison because he survived it, adding that he plans to keep making music about his experiences. He continued:
“Support, how many of you spend money? I spend my own money, so shut the f*ck up. Let me do what I want to do, Keep your advice to yourself. I’ve been there and done that; the fear isn’t the same, so f*ck off with your advice.”
Recall that the controversial figure was initially arrested by police in October 2024 after Burna Boy filed a petition against him with the police. Burna’s petition followed Darlington’s suggestive comments about the “Ye” singer’s affiliation with embattled hip-hop mogul, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
He was then re-arrested on November 27, 2024, while performing at a show in Owerri, Imo State, on the accusations of cyberstalking Burna Boy.
Darlington was consequently detained in Kuje prison for almost two months before being admitted to twenty million naira (20,000,000) bail by a federal high court in Abuja, before being released.
However, after regaining his freedom, he cut ties with his legal team and appreciated them on his social media.
The singer will return to court on March 18 for trial on cybercrime charges.
