Speed Darlington, the Nigerian comic singer known for his bold and controversial statements, is making headlines once again. Despite being arrested twice over allegations of defaming fellow artist Burna Boy, Darlington is moving forward with his music career and has announced his upcoming song Baby Oil.
In a recent interview, Speed Darlington shared a conversation he had with a police officer while in jail. The officer allegedly told him that his song had upset someone so much that they were questioning why he was released only to drop another track. To this, Darlington responded by asking, “Are you mentally OK?” He emphasized that as an artist, creating music is his passion, and he won’t stop making it.
Darlington’s comment, “If it sounds like it’s for you, then it’s for you,” suggests that he believes his music is open to interpretation and that listeners are free to find their own meanings in it.
The singer has been at the center of controversy before, particularly after linking baby oils found in Diddy’s house during a raid to Burna Boy’s Grammy win. These remarks led to his detainment, but Darlington remains undeterred and is set to release more music.
It’s clear that Speed Darlington’s bold approach to music and his unshakable confidence in his artistry will continue to fuel both admiration and criticism. His fans are excited for his new release, Baby Oil, as he keeps pushing forward despite the challenges.
