Speed Darlington Makes U-Turn, Begs Burna Boy to Withdraw Legal Charges

Nigerian singer Speed Darlington has taken a different approach in his prolonged disagreement with fellow artiste Burna Boy, publicly apologising and asking him to withdraw the legal charges against him.

According to a report published by Punch Newspapers on November 12, 2026, by Fawzi Kehinde, Speed Darlington made the appeal in a video posted on his Instagram page.

The singer expressed regret over his previous comments, admitting that he was wrong to assume that everyone had the same temperament.

He also appealed to Burna Boy to let the disagreement end, promising that he would no longer make direct or indirect comments about the singer’s sexuality if the charges were withdrawn.

Speed Darlington further assured Burna Boy that he would stop mentioning his name if the matter was resolved.

The disagreement between both entertainers dates back to 2024, when Speed Darlington made controversial remarks about Burna Boy’s Grammy achievement and his alleged connection with American music executive Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

Burna Boy later petitioned the police over alleged defamation and cyberstalking, resulting in Speed Darlington’s arrests.

The latest development marks a notable change in Speed Darlington’s approach, as he now appears to be seeking peace with the Grammy-winning singer.
