Nigerian singer Speed Darlington has said he would physically confront Burna Boy if they meet, while also expressing interest in facing him in a boxing match.
Music artiste Speed Darlington has said he would fight fellow Nigerian musician Burna Boy if they meet. Speaking during a recent interview with Yanga FM Lagos, Speed Darlington said he has no relationship with Burna Boy and would not hesitate to confront him physically.
The artiste, whose real name is Darlington Okoye, also said he would like to face Burna Boy in the boxing ring after his upcoming bout with Carter Efe. “Me and Burna Boy have no relationship. If Burna Boy enters any room that I am present in, I will fight and jump on him. If I win the forthcoming boxing match between Carter Efe and me, I hope Burna Boy will be next,” he said.
Speed Darlington’s latest comments come amid his long-running dispute with Burna Boy. He was previously remanded in custody following allegations of defamation involving Burna Boy before he was granted bail. The matter is still before the court.
The dispute between the two artistes escalated after Speed Darlington made allegations concerning Burna Boy and American rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, including a claim that Burna Boy had an illicit relationship with Diddy in connection with his Grammy award.
Burna Boy has not been quoted in the report as responding to Speed Darlington’s latest comments.
