Published

on

Controversial singer Darlington Okoye, better known as Speed Darlington, has revealed that his recent arrest will serve as inspiration for his upcoming music.

During a live stream on social media, Speed Darlington said, “Watch out for my new music. I have been looking for topics to sing about. Topics are now many.”

He shared details of his experience in police custody, claiming he was mistreated by officers. However, he clarified that he holds no personal grudge against Burna Boy, who was involved in his arrest.

“Let me just be direct, I have no beef with Burna Boy. I and Burna Boy are not quarrelling, nor are we enemies. It is the Nigeria Police that did me dirty. They are still withholding my phone at the moment, and I do not have access to it,” he stated.

Darlington was arrested on October 4 following a petition filed by Burna Boy, accusing him of defamation and cyberstalking. The arrest stemmed from a video in which Darlington suggested that Burna Boy’s connection to American rapper Sean Combs, also known as Diddy, implied a possible sexual relationship. Diddy had recently been arrested by the FBI on charges of sexual exploitation and abuse.

However, Darlington was released on October 8, 2024, after receiving support and pleas from his fans and mother.

In a statement released shortly after his arrest, the singer’s lawyer, Stan Alieke, had said, “Our client who many have come to know as a ‘joy-giver’ made the video in question purely for laughs and for its entertainment value, with no intention to malign or defame. Our client was only exploring his comedic side, and while the content may have been interpreted as extreme, it was never meant to harm or put a stain on his colleague’s reputation. He did not foresee the level of public attention the video would attract. Our client has privately reached out to his colleague and his team in the spirit of brotherhood and extension of an olive branch and to offer further clarification in person to him.”

In an appearance on the ‘Hoha’ podcast, Joe El shared that constant comparisons to 2Baba have impacted his career negatively.

He revealed that some music executives and media personalities have even denied him access to their platforms solely because of this resemblance.

“The Sound City presenter even confronted me at Club Rumours one time boasting that he was the one that ordered presenters at his station not to play my songs because I was mimicking 2Face.

“The event planner at Festac Carnival insisted that I won’t perform because I look like their King 2Face. The same thing happened when I went for an interview at Cool FM; the presenter said he can’t interview someone who imitates 2Face.

“I complained to my mum and my record label boss, Baba Keke but they urged to be calm. Sometimes, when I try to pay homage to 2Face when we meet in public, some of his team members will block me.”

Joe El shared that people began to embrace his music after collaborating with 2Baba on the song ‘Hold On’ in 2015.

Explaining his departure from Kennis Music after 12 years, he simply stated, “The contract was over.”
