“Long face sent killers my way, and I have not even posted anything. Bro, is this necessary? You tried to take my life. Really?” he said, visibly shaken in the footage.
The rapper further expressed his disbelief, saying, “I never talk anything he don dey send killers, what is he scared of! That means am right.”
Though he did not explicitly identify the person behind the alleged attack, his comments have fueled speculation that the incident may be linked to his recent controversies and publicized detention.
Recall that Speed Darlington had been released from Kuje prison, where he had been held for undisclosed charges.
His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has previously suggested that the Afrofusion star Burna Boy played a role in the rapper’s detention.
Authorities have yet to comment on the matter, and an investigation is reportedly underway.

Responding to the video, she wrote, “This is wrong on all levels, and you should be ashamed of yourself for bringing this here. Bring it on. If you think she’s alone, let me tell you here that you’ll have to fight all of us.”
The media personality further vented her frustration in an Instagram story, urging women to speak out against the situation.
“I’m not one for too much talk, but what is wrong is wrong, and as a woman, if you sit on the fence on this one, if it misses you, it’ll touch your daughter or any female in your family,” she posted. “No one is innocent, and if you want to bring the media into it, knowing what is happening, we would fight for her.”
Toke’s anger didn’t stop there.
On Monday, she shared another Instagram story, questioning 2Baba’s decision to make the divorce public at this particular time.
“Nobody is asking anybody to stay in a situation that’s not serving them any purpose anymore; by all means, leave if you must, but why bring this online this very moment?” she wrote.

A handful of people know the truth, and time will tell.”
Toke concluded her message by highlighting the importance of timing and empathy in handling personal matters, especially when it involves high-profile individuals like 2Baba and Annie.
“You constantly preach love; you cannot add to the narrative that’s out there when you know what is really happening behind closed doors,” she stated.
