Nigerian influencer and activist, Verydarkman, has given an update on the rearrest of controversial singer Speed Darlington, revealing that the artist is expected to be released from detention on Monday. Speed Darlington, known for his outspoken nature and social media antics, was recently arrested by the Nigerian Police Force during a concert in Imo State, sparking widespread media attention.
In a recent Instagram video, Verydarkman shared details of Speed Darlington’s situation, acknowledging the role of Nigerian music star Burna Boy in the ongoing saga. Verydarkman expressed gratitude to Burna Boy for his involvement, stating that the Grammy-winning artist has decided to file a civil charge against Speed Darlington in connection with comments the latter made regarding Burna Boy’s Grammy win and an alleged link with the embattled American rapper, Diddy Combs.
“Shoutout to Burna Boy, for what you did. You’ve earned my respect,” Verydarkman said in the video. His praise of Burna Boy seemed to be a gesture of appreciation for the singer’s handling of the matter, which has stirred public debate.
The influencer went on to reveal that Speed Darlington, who was previously arrested for making controversial remarks about Burna Boy’s achievements, is set to be released from detention by Monday. “Hopefully, Speed Darlington will be out on Monday,” Verydarkman added, offering reassurance to fans who have been concerned about the singer’s legal troubles.
The arrest of Speed Darlington is linked to his public comments, where he criticized Burna Boy’s Grammy win and accused him of having connections with Diddy Combs. These comments were reportedly seen as defamatory, leading to the rearrest of the singer, whose previous altercation with the law was centered around similar issues.
In his video, Verydarkman emphasized the impact of Burna Boy’s actions, suggesting that the filing of a civil charge against Speed Darlington was a move that had garnered his respect. Burna Boy, who has consistently been at the forefront of international recognition for his music, has not directly commented on the situation beyond his legal actions.
