“By The Time I’m Through with Burna Boy, He’ll Beg for My Acct. No To Send Me N12M” – Speed Darlington

Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington has found himself in the spotlight once again, this time due to his ongoing feud with Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy. The controversy began after Burna Boy reportedly filed a petition accusing Speed Darlington of cyberstalking, leading to his detention by the IRT team in Abuja.

The rapper’s mother intervened, blaming Burna Boy and his team for her son’s arrest and pleading for his release. After spending three days in custody, Speed Darlington was granted bail and released. However, he hasn’t backed down; in a heated Instagram live session, he vowed retaliation, boldly stating that Burna Boy would be “begging for his account number” when he’s finished with him.

The incident has sparked mixed reactions, with fans debating whether the rivalry will escalate further.

The feud between Speed Darlington and Burna Boy dates back to 2021, when Speed Darlington questioned the authenticity of Burna Boy’s Grammy win for Twice as Tall. In a series of comments, Speed Darlington jokingly suggested that Burna Boy’s success at the Grammys was due to external influences rather than just talent.

He specifically referenced Burna Boy’s close association with P. Diddy, who executive-produced the album, and insinuated that their relationship played a role in securing the win. Going a step further, Speed Darlington hinted at an alleged romantic connection between Burna Boy and Diddy, stirring even more controversy and fueling the ongoing rivalry between the two Nigerian artists.

This tension appears to be escalating, especially after Burna Boy’s recent cyberstalking petition against Speed Darlington, which has led to even bolder statements and threats from the rapper.
