Just 24 hours after his release from a two-month detention, embattled Nigerian rapper Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, has spoken out, declaring that he “went to gather energy.”
The rapper made the statement in an Instagram video posted on Thursday following his alleged illegal arrest for defaming Afrobeats star Damini Ogulu, aka Burna Boy.
Despite being granted bail earlier, he was only freed on Tuesday. Darlington’s lawyer, Stanley Alieke, confirmed his release via Instagram, sharing photos of the rapper sporting a new look.
Fans eagerly anticipated the internet sensation’s social media post, and Wednesday evening, hours shortly after his legal counsel, Deji Adeyanju, shared an image of the rapper at the airport, Speed Darlington posted with the caption, “I’m back.”
He further stated, “Two bulls fighting, one steps back… it’s not running away, it went to gather energy and launch back with a banger.”
