Speed Darlington knocks Tems and Teni for imitating Tiwa Savage
Nigerian artist and content creator Speed Darlington has shared his reservation about Nigerian international sensations Tems and Teni both of whom he claims are copying Nigerian superstar Tiwa Savage.
In an interview on a podcast, Speed Darlington highlighted the similarities in the first alphabet in the names of Tems, Teni, and Tiwa Savage which he called a pattern.
He stated that at the risk of sounding jealous, he had to state that Teni and Tems’ choice of stage name is an imitation of Tiwa’s name. The host attempted to draw his attention to the fact that Tems and Teni are basically abbreviations of their names but Speed Darlington was having none of it.
The content creator and artist who gained fame for his curious type of music and social media antics stated that he believes artists should be creative and he wasn’t seeing any creativity from Tems and Teni.
According to Speed Darlington Teni and Tems have failed to take risks regarding their stage name and instead imitated Tiwa because her name brought her fame.
Speed’s comment won’t come as a surprise to most people who are familiar with his brand as he has a history of making funny and ridiculous statements.
He had previously described himself as one of the best artists in Nigeria. He has also gotten into a public spat with influencer and musician Tunde Ednut over who was more famous.
His comments on Teni and Tems will likely be classified as another of his many funny takes which has made him popular on Nigerian social media.

Cynthia Morgan reveals why she’ll never reach out to Burna Boy
Cynthia Morgan has revealed why she will never reach out to Burna Boy amid the controversy surrounding his rumoured past relationship with Uju Stella.
In a recent post on her Instagram story, Morgan claimed people advised her to contact Burna Boy regarding Stella’s interview.
In the interview, Stella alleged that she and Burna Boy dated for three years and she got pregnant for him.
In the post, Morgan said she can’t reach out to Burna Boy because he is still upset that she didn’t believe him when Stella made the accusations in 2016.
The songstress also took a shot at men, arguing that they tend to lie and get angry when others don’t believe them.
“For those sending me messages to reach out to Burna Boy, I won’t. If it was me I would reach out but he is probably still mad that I didn’t believe he didn’t impregnate Uju Stella in 2016,” she wrote.
“That’s what most men do. They lie and get mad when you don’t believe them. Something he finally admitted to online 8 years later. You all leave me alone. All the best Damini.”
Morgan and Burna Boy have collaborated on music, with their 2016 song ‘Acting Bad’ a notable example.
There were also rumours of a romantic relationship between the two singers in 2015, although the pair did not confirm it.
