Burna Boy: Speed Darlington released on bail after five-day detention

Outspoken Nigerian singer Darlington Okoye, more popularly known as Speed Darlington, has been released on bail.

He was detained since Friday for allegedly defaming and cyberstalking his colleague, Burma Boy.

In a contentious video, Speed Darlington allegedly mocked Burna Boy’s association with American rapper Diddy, who the FBI arrested on multiple charges, including sexual exploitation.

In the video, Speed Darlington challenged Burna Boy to explain how he got his Grammy award for his fifth album, Twice As Tall, released on 14 August 2020 and executive produced by P Diddy and Burna Boy’s Mother, Bose Ogulu.

Deji Adeyanju, a lawyer, confirmed that Speed Darlington was arrested in Lagos Friday last week, moved around and eventually brought to Abuja and has been in detention since then.
