Speed Darlington Publicly Begs Burna Boy to Drop Legal Charges, Promises Never to Comment on His Sexuality Again
Nigerian controversial singer Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, has issued a public apology to Grammy-winning artist Damini Ogulu (Burna Boy), pleading with him to drop ongoing legal charges and promising to halt all remarks regarding his personal life.
In a video shared on his Instagram page on Thursday, Speed Darlington expressed regret over any pain or embarrassment his previous commentary may have caused. Admitting that he was wrong to assume everyone shares his temperament, the singer stated that he wants a definitive end to their long-running feud.
As a condition for peace, Speed Darlington pledged that if Burna Boy withdraws all pending charges and lets the matter rest, he will never again make direct or indirect comments concerning the singer’s sexuality, nor will he mention his name in public.
The public appeal follows a turbulent legal battle that escalated in October 2024, when Speed Darlington posted videos questioning Burna Boy’s Grammy win and making insinuations about his associations. The remarks led to multiple police arrests, detentions, and subsequent court arraignments for defamation and cyberstalking.
While legal representation previously issued apologies on his behalf—which Speed Darlington initially distanced himself from—his latest video marks a direct U-turn as he seeks a permanent resolution to the protracted legal dispute.
