Singer Speed Darlington has recently made headlines following his arrest in Lagos and subsequent transfer to Abuja. This incident is linked to a petition filed against him by fellow artist Burna Boy, as confirmed by lawyer Deji Adeyanju.
Arrest Details
According to Deji Adeyanju, Speed Darlington was apprehended on Friday, October 4, in Lagos. After his arrest, he was transported to Abuja by the police. Adeyanju shared this update through a post on his X handle, noting that he and Speed Darlington spent time together, during which the singer recounted the circumstances surrounding his detention.
“We just spent the last 30 minutes with Speed Darlington, and he narrated how he was arrested in Lagos last Friday, moved around, and eventually brought to Abuja, where he has been in detention since then. The petition against him was written by Burna Boy,” Adeyanju stated.
Background of the Petition
The petition leading to Speed Darlington’s arrest appears to be connected to a controversial video he posted in September. In this video, the singer made provocative remarks about Burna Boy’s sexuality, which may have prompted the legal action.
In the video, Speed Darlington suggested that Burna Boy gained significant publicity and recognition in the United States after developing a close relationship with the troubled singer Diddy. He further questioned the nature of this relationship, asking rhetorically, “Is Burna Boy’s bum greased with oil after he became close to Diddy?”
Implications and Reactions
The legal battle between the two artists highlights the ongoing tensions within the Nigerian music industry, where public comments and social media interactions can lead to serious repercussions. Fans and observers are closely monitoring the situation, awaiting further developments regarding Speed Darlington’s legal standing and the potential response from Burna Boy.
Future Plans
The arrest of Speed Darlington raises questions about freedom of expression in the entertainment industry and the implications of public statements made by artists. As the situation unfolds, the music community and fans alike will be eager to see how it impacts both artists involved.
