Social critic Vincent Martins Otse, widely known as Verydarkman (VDM), has shared his thoughts on the ongoing situation involving singer Speed Darlington, whose real name is Darlington Okoye. The artist is currently in police custody, allegedly for defaming fellow musician Burna Boy (real name Ebunoluwa Ogulu). Speed Darlington is facing accusations after making claims about Burna Boy’s connection with American rapper P. Diddy prior to the Nigerian star winning his Grammy Award.
According to reports, Speed Darlington’s legal team has suggested that he may spend the Christmas and New Year holidays in jail. VDM, who has been following the case closely, referred to Speed Darlington by his nickname, Akpi, and expressed concern over the singer’s situation. He recounted his own experience with the justice system, explaining that when judges are unavailable, suspects can often remain in detention for longer than necessary.
In his statement, VDM took responsibility for the negative remarks made by Speed Darlington about Burna Boy. He pointed out that Akpi’s controversial statement about Burna Boy’s Grammy win, suggesting a link with P. Diddy, was a critical factor in the artist’s current predicament. VDM used the incident as a cautionary tale, urging people to be more careful with their words and to consider the potential consequences of slander.
VDM also criticized Burna Boy for his reaction to the situation, arguing that the singer’s strong stance against oppression seemed inconsistent given the circumstances. While he sympathized with Burna Boy’s frustration, VDM acknowledged that the Last Last hitmaker might have lost opportunities due to Speed Darlington’s continuous attacks on him.
Despite his criticisms, VDM mentioned that after speaking to some sources, it appears Speed Darlington may be granted bail soon. There is speculation that, if a judge approves the bail, he could be released as early as Thursday, December 18, 2024.
