Speed Darlington breaks silence after prolonged detention, says ‘Stepped back to gather energy’ – Burna Boy
Speed Darlington, a Nigerian singer, breaks his silence after being freed from prolonged detention.
Darlington was initially detained for alleged cyber-stalking following his remarks attributing Burna Boy’s Grammy award to his association with Diddy, the embattled American rapper currently embroiled in legal battles with the FBI.
Diddy is presently facing multiple charges of sex trafficking and rape.
After his initial release on bail in October, Darlington insisted that he would not cease his public criticisms until Burna Boy compensated him.
Following the development, he was rearrested during a performance in Imo State on November 27, 2024, and held in Kuje prison for an extended period.
Expressing his frustration to secure his release in a video on Instagram, the singer’s lawyer acc Burna Boy of bribing the police to keep Darlington behind bars despite being granted bail by the Federal High Court on December 23.
Darlington was finally released on January 21 2025.
But reacting to his critics release, Burna Boy in a now deleted post on Instagram, warned that Darlington would return back to jail if he ever misbehaves again.
Following his prolonged detention and warning by Burna, many netizens assumed Speed Darlington would come out regretful and subdued.
However, breaking silence after his release, Darlington ignored Burna Boy’s warning and shared a striking video of two rams locked in a fierce battle with their horns crashing against each other.
Captioning the trending clip on his Instagram page, he said ” I’m back. To those fighting, one step back, it is not running away, he went to gather energy and launch back with a banger.
