Nigerian singer and entertainer Speed Darlington has stirred controversy yet again, promising his fans more ‘baby oil’ content. The term, which he uses to describe provocative videos or content, has been interpreted as a means to mock Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy.
This development comes on the heels of a viral video posted by Speed Darlington on his social media page, where he appeared to subtly shade Burna Boy. The video was released shortly after claims surfaced that Speed Darlington had been arrested and detained, allegedly at the instigation of the internationally acclaimed singer.
In the video, Speed Darlington expressed his gratitude to his lawyers, who he credited for helping him navigate the legal troubles he faced during the ordeal. He also appreciated his supporters, who stood by him throughout the situation.
According to Speed Darlington, his legal team advised him to avoid mentioning specific names or brands in his posts to prevent further legal complications. However, the controversial singer seemingly ignored this advice, referring to Burna Boy as “long face,” leaving no doubt about who he was targeting with his remarks.
The singer’s latest comments and promise of additional controversial content have sparked significant backlash online. While some fans expressed their disappointment in his actions, others declared their withdrawal of support, accusing him of perpetuating unnecessary drama and risking further conflicts.
One fan, @okito_nasamba, wrote: “Public Announcement…!!! Dear Instagram families, I hereby withdraw myself from defending Akpi. I shall no longer put mouth in any of his problems. Thank you for your understanding.”
Another fan, @lady.blemiviv, commented: “He is busy entertaining people that won’t be there for him if things go messy again 🤦🏻♀️.”
Speed Darlington’s antics have once again drawn mixed reactions from social media users, with many questioning his motives and others urging him to focus on creating positive content.
