Speed Darlington Seeks Peace with Burna Boy

Nigerian singer and entertainer Speed Darlington has publicly apologised to Grammy-winning musician Burna Boy, asking him to withdraw the legal charges against him and bring their prolonged disagreement to an end.

In an apology video shared on Thursday, November 12, 2026, Speed Darlington addressed Burna Boy directly, expressing regret over the pain and embarrassment his previous comments may have caused. He admitted that he was wrong to assume that everyone viewed issues from the same perspective and appealed for peace between them.

The singer also promised to stop making both direct and indirect comments about Burna Boy’s sexuality if the Grammy winner agreed to withdraw all charges against him. He further pledged never to mention Burna Boy’s name again if the matter was resolved.

In the video, Speed Darlington specifically appealed to Burna Boy to withdraw the charges within two weeks, insisting that he wanted the disagreement to end. His appeal comes after their dispute, which began in October 2024, when he questioned Burna Boy’s Grammy Award win for his album Twice as Tall and made controversial remarks about his alleged connection with American music executive Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

The controversy eventually resulted in Burna Boy reportedly petitioning the police over allegations of defamation and cyberstalking, leading to Speed Darlington’s arrest and subsequent legal battle. His latest apology appears to be a fresh attempt to settle the disagreement and bring an end to the ongoing dispute.
