Nigerian singer Speed Darlington has made another move to end his long-running feud with Grammy-winning superstar Burna Boy, publicly apologising and asking him to withdraw the charges against him.
In an apology video shared on Instagram on Thursday, November 12, Speed Darlington expressed regret over comments he previously made about Burna Boy, admitting that he was wrong to assume the singer would react to things the same way he did.
The controversial entertainer said he was sorry for any pain or embarrassment his remarks may have caused, adding that he wanted both parties to put the disagreement behind them.
However, his apology came with a condition. Speed Darlington promised to stop making direct or indirect comments about Burna Boy’s sexuality if the singer agreed to withdraw all charges and allow the matter to end.
He also promised never to mention Burna Boy’s name again if the dispute was resolved.
The disagreement between the two musicians became a major talking point in 2024 after Speed Darlington questioned Burna Boy’s Grammy achievement and made controversial insinuations about his relationship with American music executive Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
Burna Boy subsequently petitioned the police over allegations of defamation and cyberstalking. Speed Darlington was arrested more than once as the dispute escalated, turning their disagreement into one of Nigeria’s most talked-about celebrity controversies.
Now, his latest apology has reopened conversations about whether the two entertainers can finally settle their differences.
For fans who have followed the drama from the beginning, the big question is whether Burna Boy will accept the apology and withdraw the charges. For now, the ball appears to be in the Grammy winner’s court.
