Speed Darlington’s Mother Begs Burna Boy to Release Her Son
Lagos, Nigeria – The mother of controversial Nigerian singer, Speed Darlington, has made a passionate appeal to Grammy-winning artist, Burna Boy, to release her son from custody.
The Controversy Unfolds
The drama began when Speed Darlington released a video criticizing Burna Boy’s affiliation with American music mogul, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who faces multiple charges. Darlington questioned the legitimacy of Burna Boy’s Grammy Award, insinuating a questionable relationship between Burna Boy and Diddy.
Arrest and Allegations
According to Speed Darlington’s mother, Queen, her son’s gateman informed her that Burna Boy and his team, accompanied by police, took Darlington away from his house. Queen claims her son has been missing for three days.
However, activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju revealed that Speed Darlington is actually in police custody in Abuja, not with Burna Boy. Adeyanju alleged that the arrest was based on a petition filed by Burna Boy.
Mother’s Plea
Queen is begging Burna Boy to temper justice with mercy and forgive her son. In an emotional video, she appealed to Burna Boy, saying:
“Please, Burna Boy, forgive my son. He didn’t mean to offend you. I beg you, release him. He’s my only son.”
Reactions from Nigerians
Nigerians have taken to social media to react to the controversy. While some support Burna Boy’s actions, others condemn the arrest.
