Speed Darlington Causes Stir at Club Over Burna Boy Song
Controversial Nigerian singer and internet personality, Speed Darlington, made headlines recently after a dramatic outburst at a club over a Burna Boy song. In a viral clip, Speed could be heard warning the DJ in Pidgin, saying, "I go go," signaling that he would leave if the Burna Boy track continued playing.
True to his word, the DJ swiftly switched up the music to avoid losing the crowd's vibe. But what sparked this unexpected reaction? It stems from the longstanding grudge between Speed Darlington and Burna Boy, which has been well-publicized in the media.
The feud between the two artists goes way back, with Burna Boy filing a petition against Speed Darlington that resulted in the latter’s arrest and detention on two separate occasions. Tensions flared up once again after Speed Darlington’s boxing match with street-hop star Portable, a victory that reportedly earned Portable a 20 million Naira gift from Burna Boy in a show of support.
Clearly, the bad blood is far from over, and Speed Darlington isn’t letting any Burna Boy-related tunes slide—whether it’s in the middle of a night out or anywhere else.
Our Take:
Speed Darlington’s reaction may have seemed extreme to some, but it’s a reminder of how unresolved beefs can spill over into unexpected moments. Music, which is supposed to bring people together, becomes a battleground for old grievances in this case. In a world where social media amplifies everything, it’s clear that the rivalry between these two artists isn’t just about the music; it’s personal. While some might find Speed’s outburst entertaining or amusing, it raises a larger question about how long grudges should last in the public eye. Can there ever be room for reconciliation, or do these artists thrive on their controversies?
