Speed Darlington’s mother pleads with Burna Boy to release her son, who has been missing for three days after allegedly mocking the artist in a video. The situation raises concerns about freedom of expression, especially following Burna Boy's connection to recent controversies involving American rapper Diddy.
Speed Darlington’s mother has made a heartfelt plea to Burna Boy to release her son, who has reportedly been missing for three days. In a video shared on social media, she alleges that Burna Boy was involved in her son's arrest after he posted a mocking video about the Grammy-winning artist.
The issue escalated when Speed Darlington made comments about Burna Boy’s association with American rapper Diddy, who was recently taken into custody by the FBI on serious charges, including human trafficking. In his video, Speed questioned how Burna Boy achieved his Grammy for the album "Twice As Tall," which Diddy produced, leading to speculation about their relationship.
In her emotional video, Speed Darlington's mother, residing outside Nigeria, called for assistance from Nigerians, urging Burna Boy to "tamper justice with mercy" and to free her only son. She conveyed her distress over the possibility of her son remaining in detention without just cause.
As the situation develops, Burna Boy’s camp has not confirmed or denied any involvement in Speed Darlington's reported arrest, and the Nigeria Police Force has not issued any official statements.
