Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington speaks out on his reduced online activity following his arrest, attributing it to the lack of a good phone. He clarifies that his absence is not due to humility and addresses his ongoing feud with Burna Boy, stating his bold persona remains unchanged.

Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington recently opened up about his reduced online presence, attributing it to the lack of a functional phone following his recent arrest in Nigeria. Darlington, known for his outspoken persona, clarified in a video that his absence should not be mistaken for humility, emphasizing that he remains as bold and unapologetic as ever. He discussed the circumstances surrounding his arrest, stating he was held for four days without access to his family or lawyer, which he says violated his rights.

Darlington referenced his track record, noting 17 previous arrests in the U.S. and now one in Nigeria, stating these experiences have only made him stronger. He also addressed his ongoing feud with fellow musician Burna Boy, insinuating that Burna Boy was responsible for his arrest and adding that he has since attempted to resolve issues between them.

In the video, Darlington reassured fans that he is still the same “Scorpion King,” who regularly trends and boasts about rejecting million-naira offers. He dismissed any notions of change in his personality, attributing his quietness solely to the unavailability of a proper phone, not a shift in his character.
