Speed Darlington at Odds with Legal Team Over Burna Boy Apology

Controversial Nigerian singer Speed Darlington appears to be at odds with his legal team after they released a public apology on his behalf to fellow artist Burna Boy.

While his team issued the statement, Speed Darlington seems to have different plans, expressing frustration with the situation during a recent Instagram live session. The singer claimed that his legal team had taken control of his phone, though he noted that he still has access to social media and hasn’t entirely lost control of his online presence.

In the live video, Speed Darlington explained that it was his lawyer who had begged him to post the apology, but he made it clear that the decision was not his own. “It was my lawyer that begged me to post the apology,” he said, suggesting that the post was made under pressure. The singer then indicated that he intends to delete the apology post, saying, “I plan on deleting the post because it wasn’t my idea in the first place.”

This public disagreement comes just days after Speed Darlington was released from prison, and since then, he has made several comments about Burna Boy. Initially, the singer asserted his belief that he is a bigger artist than Burna Boy, claiming he has more money than the Grammy-winning star. His bold statements quickly caught the attention of fans, with many following the unfolding drama closely.

Despite his earlier defiant statements, Speed Darlington’s legal team took a more formal approach by releasing an apology for his actions, which they believed had damaged Burna Boy’s reputation. However, it seems that Speed Darlington is not on the same page as his lawyers. His recent remarks suggest he is unwilling to follow through with the apology and is set to undo the work done by his legal team. “It wasn’t my idea, so I’m deleting it,” he reaffirmed.

The unfolding saga has left netizens entertained and puzzled. Many have taken to social media to comment on the drama, comparing it to a “roadside show.”
