Nigerians across social media are buzzing over the reports that controversial content ctreator Speed Darlington was arrested by Burna Boy over defamation.

It all began in the late hours of October 7, 2024, when an SOS was posted on Speed’s Instagram page. The post stated that he had been missing for 3 days and asked anyone with information to come forward.

Things took a different turn when Speed Darlington’s mother revealed that her son was declared missing after making a video about Nigerian musician Burna Boy. In the video, she was seen begging the singer to have mercy on her son and kindly release him.

This came after Speed Darlington made a video about the singer, alleging that he had affiliations with American rapper, Diddy, who was recently arrested for sex trafficking and other crimes. The video gained traction and following Speed Darlington’s arrest, he quickly became the talk of the town online.

One X user wrote, “I like the way y’all are supporting Burna because of favoritism, abi you’re used to oppression Poverty is a bad thing, we can’t even hide it anymore we publicly lick asses Let’s maintain the same energy when its us or our favs in akpi’s shoes cos no one is above bully Ask dangote.”

“Burna boy really arrested Akpi? Why? For what?”

Another person wrote, “Burna boy is mid” “Burna boys songs are wack” “Burna boy can not perform” All these are opinions you’re entitled to. “Burna boy is getting fucked in the ass by Diddy” That’s Defamation. Burna should release him and sue him for everything he has.”

“Burna boy is mid”
“Burna boys songs are wack”
“Burna boy can not perform”

All these are opinions you’re entitled to.

“Burna boy is getting fucked in the ass by Diddy”

That’s Defamation.

Burna should release him and sue him for everything he has.

Angelique Kidjo, the iconic Beninese-French singer-songwriter, has submitted her track ‘Joy’ featuring Afrobeats star Davido for consideration in two categories at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

The much-anticipated 67th Grammy Awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on February 2, 2025, in Los Angeles.

Ahead of the award ceremony, several global artistes have begun to submit their projects for nomination consideration.

In a recent Facebook post, the 64-year-old megastar announced that she submitted the song in the ‘Best African Music Performance’ and ‘Record of the Year’ categories.

Kidjo entered another of her works ‘Sunlight to My Soul’ in the ‘Best Global Music Performance’ and ‘Song of the Year’ categories.

The songstress also appreciated the artistes involved for their contributions and collaborators.

In August, the Beninese singer released ‘Joy’ featuring Davido. The track follows the success of their first collaborative song ‘Na Money‘ in 2023.

Kidjo is known for her diverse musical influences and creative music videos. She has won five Grammy Awards and is also the 2023 Polar Music Prize laureate.

She is regarded as one of the greatest singers in Africa. Aside from her incredible music career, Kidjo is an actress and activist.

Davido, on the other hand, has firmly established himself as one of the prominent artistes out of Africa. He has also won several awards.

The singer was nominated in three categories at the 2023 Grammy Awards. He, however, failed to win all of his nominations.
