Nigerian singer Speed Darlington has clapped back at activist Verydarkman after being criticized for a controversial claim.

Previously, Verydarkman had called out the singer for admitting to an unsettling act involving a 15-year-old girl.

Verydarkman labeled Speed Darlington a predator, claiming the incident could not have been the first of its kind.

Speed Darlington, however, dismissed Verydarkman’s remarks, asserting that he is not intimidated by him like other Nigerians.

The singer further argued that people are targeting him because he resides in the South, adding that those criticizing him should focus on addressing forced marriages of minors in Northern Nigeria.
