Controversy is brewing in the Nigerian music scene. Lawyer Deji Adeyanju has accused Burna Boy of being behind the rearrest of fellow musician Speed Darlington. According to Adeyanju, Speed Darlington was arrested again by the Nigerian police at his Owerri show upon his return to Nigeria, allegedly for jumping bail.
The drama started in October when Speed Darlington was arrested for allegedly cyberstalking Burna Boy. Speed had reportedly mocked Burna Boy’s association with American rapper Diddy, who was arrested on multiple charges. Speed Darlington was later released after fulfilling the bail conditions, but his recent arrest has raised eyebrows.
Adeyanju has called out Burna Boy for hypocrisy, saying that he has been singing against oppression but is now allegedly oppressing Speed Darlington. Lawyer Deji post has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many fans weighing in on the controversy.
