Controversial rapper and singer Darlington Okoye aka Speed Darlington or Akpi or Speed in the early hours of Monday, January 27, said he survived an alleged gunshot attack.
In a video shared on his Instagram page, the singer disclosed that his car was shot at multiple times by the assailants. The singer shared a video of his damaged car, adding that he and his driver heard gunshots, only to check to see that the shots were fired at the car.
Speed Darlington’s driver was heard sharing how the incident happened, and a couple of other security personnel were there to confirm that he was truly attacked.
Pellets from the gunshot were shown in the viral clip and bullet holes in the back of the car. He noted that the attack was carried out by some locals, and they weren’t professionals, considering the type of gun used.
Speed Darlington, who is involved in a social media fight with Grammy Award winner, Burna Boy, threw subtle shades, clearly stating that the assailants were sent to him by Long face.
“There must be truth in what I am saying,” he said in the video.
In a caption of the video which he shared on his Instagram page, Speed Darlington wrote:
“Long face send killers my way and I haven’t even post anything and I have not said anything he is already sending k!llers.”
