UPDATE: Speed Darlington Begs Burna Boy to End Legal Dispute, Makes Fresh PROMISE

Nigerian singer Speed Darlington has made a fresh appeal to Burna Boy, asking the Grammy-winning artiste to withdraw the charges against him following their prolonged disagreement.

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

Speed Darlington expressed regret over his previous remarks, apologising for any pain or embarrassment he may have caused Burna Boy.

He also promised to stop making comments about the singer’s sexuality, whether directly or indirectly, if Burna Boy agreed to withdraw the charges and allow the matter to end.

The singer further promised not to mention Burna Boy’s name again if the legal disagreement was resolved.

The controversy between both entertainers escalated in 2024 after Speed Darlington questioned Burna Boy’s Grammy Award achievement and made insinuations about his relationship with American music executive Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

Burna Boy subsequently petitioned the police over allegations of defamation and cyberstalking. Speed Darlington was arrested more than once during the dispute and was later granted bail in January 2025.

His latest public apology has now brought renewed attention to the disagreement, with the singer making another attempt to secure an end to the legal battle.
