Social media critic, VeryDarkMan has urged Grammy-award winning singer, Burna Boy to order the release of rapper, Speed Darlington.
Glamsquad reported that Speed Darlington, famous for his unfiltered and confrontational style, was declared missing after three days of silence.
A video showing him in handcuffs, alongside his mother’s public plea to Burna Boy, ignited a wave of concern and speculation online.
His disappearance followed closely on the heels of his accusations, where he linked Burna Boy to the arrest of American rapper and music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Consequently, Miss Queen, Speed Darlington’s mother alleged that Burna Boy and his team are responsible for her son’s disappearance.
In a video message, Queen recounted how her son’s gateman informed her that Speed Darlington had been taken away by Burna Boy and his team.
She futher pleaded with Burna Boy to release her son.
Weighing in on the matter, VeryDarkMan noted that Burna Boy isn’t an oppressor and urged him to release Speed Darlington if he was indeed behind his arrest.
VeryDarkMan also cautioned Burna Boy against acting like politicians who misuse their power to torment the defenseless. He suggested that the singer should have pursued civil action against Speed Darlington rather than resorting to arresting him.

He also noted that Burna Boy, with his resources, could easily afford lawyers in Nigeria, making police involvement unnecessary.
Although advocating for Speed Darlington’s release, VeryDarkMan acknowledged that Speed hasn’t been kind to him either, having made several unkind remarks that he chose to overlook.
