Speed Darlington apologises to Burna Boy, demands charges withdrawn in two weeks
Controversial singer Speed Darlington has released a direct video apology to Grammy winner Burna Boy, pleading for all charges to be dropped within two weeks. In the video posted today, Darlington admits he "made a mistake of thinking that everybody vibrates at the same frequency" and promises to cease all commentary — direct or indirect — about Burna Boy's sexuality.
"I give you my word that if you withdraw all charges and let everything die, I will never make any direct comment regarding sexuality. Even indirect comment, I will no longer try such thing," Darlington states. He further vows to never mention Burna Boy's name again if the charges are withdrawn.
The appeal follows an ongoing legal dispute between the two artists, though the specific charges remain undisclosed in the video. Darlington's public apology marks a significant de-escalation in their feud, which has played out across social media for months.
Burn Boy has not publicly responded to the two-week ultimatum. The situation remains fluid — if charges are not withdrawn, the legal process continues. For followers of Nigerian entertainment, this tests whether public apologies can resolve artist disputes without court intervention.
