The situation highlights the tension between free speech and consequences.
Speed Darlington, a Nigerian rapper, has been rearrested for jumping bail, and his legal team is accusing Afrobeat star Burna Boy of orchestrating the harassment. Darlington's lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, took to X (formerly Twitter) to claim that Burna Boy was behind the police's actions, stating, "This is someone who has been singing against oppression and now oppressing Akpi."
Speed Darlington, known for his controversial social media presence and public feuds, had been at odds with Burna Boy for months. His constant attacks on Burna, particularly in connection with Piddy's case, seem to have led to a simmering conflict. Nigerians have responded sharply to the situation on social media. While some fans sympathize with Darlington, others argue that his relentless trolling of Burna Boy was unprovoked and unnecessary.
