Speed Darlington Responds to NAPTIP’s Wanted Notice.
Pay Me ₦2.5 Million for my appearance.
Controversial Nigerian entertainer Speed Darlington has broken his silence following the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP)’s declaration that he is wanted for allegedly ignoring their invitation regarding a case involving cyberbullying and cyberstalking.
In a video shared online, the US-based rapper dismissed the agency’s summons and mocked the wanted posters circulating on social media. He insisted he had done nothing wrong and had no intention of complying with the agency’s request.
He said, “This video is for NAPTIP, make una pay attention. All these wanted posters you guys posted need to be taken down. I’m not coming, you hear me? I have not committed any crime. All I did was to speak; irresponsible talk is not a crime. I’m not coming.”
The US-based rapper, known for his controversial takes and viral rants, questioned the credibility of the allegations and demanded to see evidence.
“Okay? Where is your evidence? Who is the complainant?Una wan use me collect social media clout. ‘Hey, look at us. We are doing our job. We summoned a celebrity and he came.’ I was born here, so I know the psychological mind games wey una dey play. 2.5 million is what I charge for an appearance, una go pay me 2.5 million plus round trip. Round trip tickets for me and my PA to come because I called that appearance. You feel me?
Because I know you guys have no evidence. There is no crime. All I did was try to trend. You have no evidence. You have nothing. So me coming there is a waste of my time. You guys are just reacting to a bunch of people on social media hating on Speed Darlington, tagging you, tagging you. ‘Look, look, look, we find something. Look, look, look. Go after him, go after him, go after him.’”
This follows the agency’s invitation to the singer over a controversial video in which he alleged that he had slept with a 12-year-old girl and paid her. After receiving heavy backlash, he later clarified that the story was entirely fabricated to generate social media buzz for his new song.
