Burna Boy Files ₦1 Billion Defamation Suit Against Speed Darlington Over Controversial Video

In a dramatic legal twist, Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy has taken Speed Darlington, popularly known as Akpi, to court over allegations of defamation. The lawsuit stems from a viral video in which Speed Darlington allegedly linked Burna Boy to questionable dealings with American rapper Diddy.

According to Burna Boy, the video has had devastating consequences on his career, resulting in financial and reputational losses exceeding ₦5 billion. He claims that the allegations forced him to cancel multiple shows, halt ongoing tours, and delay the release of new music to avoid potential backlash in the United States.

Burna Boy is demanding ₦1 billion in damages and has requested the court to consider a prison sentence for Speed Darlington if he is found guilty of defamation of his character. 1 Like 2 Shares
