Speed Darlington




Controversial rapper Darlington Okoye, better known as Speed Darlington has admitted to having been arrested 19 times.

He also stated that he had been detained five times.

The ‘Bangdadadang’ singer revealed this in a freestyle video uploaded on his social media page.

“5 lockups, 19 arrests, I get game but I no dey hear, when you hear this one, na Kuje,” he raps.

It should be recalled that Darlington was arrested twice in October and November 2024, after mocking Burna Boy’s relationship with the embattled American music executive, Sean Combs, aka Diddy.

He was detained at the Kuje Correctional Facility but was released on January 21st, 2025 weeks after he was granted bail by a Federal High Court in Abuja.

Days after his release, Darlington alleged on social media that he narrowly escaped assassination on his way from a club in Lagos. (Saturday Sun: Text, Excluding Headline)
