‘As a celebrity I deserved to be paid’ – Speed Darlington

Controversial hip-hop artis, Darlington Okoye, popularly as Speed Darlington, has stated that he deserves to be compensated for “being a celebrity.”

The rapper who is based in the United States made the statement while participating on the current episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, which is co-hosted by actor Nedu.

Gistlover recalls that Speed Darlington recently came under fire after several admirers called him out for requesting N5,000 before hugging or snapping photos with them.

Speed Darlington, meanwhile, argued on the show that he deserved to be compensated simply for “being a celebrity.”

“I really think I should be paid for being a celebrity,” he stated.

Nedu told him that he wouldn’t be a celebrity if his fans didn’t love him.

But Speed Darlington refuted his claims, saying, “What generates that love? Why them no hug mad man for road?”
