A video shared online shows controversial rapper, Speed Darlington, being escorted out of a building in handcuffs, accompanied by several men.
This follows concerns raised by Nigerians online, with many claiming he had been “missing” for three days, while others suggested he had been “arrested.”
The situation escalated after Speed Darlington made defamatory remarks about Afrobeats star, Burna Boy.
He had gone online to make insinuations about Burna’s sexuality after Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested.
Speed Darlington implied that Burna Boy’s success in the American music scene and his Grammy nomination came after meeting Diddy who he claimed used “baby oils” on him.
It’s unclear whether his arrest is directly related to Burna Boy, but there are speculations that the “Last Last” singer may have had him arrested for defamation.
