Nigerian social media personality, Very Dark Man, has called on music star Burna Boy to release fellow entertainer Speed Darlington, following news of his arrest. The arrest has caused a buzz online, and Very Dark Man has now weighed in on the situation.
In a video statement, Very Dark Man urged Burna Boy not to act like an “oppressor” and suggested that, if Burna Boy was indeed responsible for the arrest, he should release Speed Darlington. He warned Burna Boy against becoming like politicians who misuse their power to punish others unjustly.
Very Dark Man also argued that, rather than involving the police, Burna Boy could have taken legal action through a civil suit, emphasizing that the artist can easily afford the best lawyers in Nigeria. He also mentioned that while he advocates for Speed Darlington’s release, he personally has been a target of unkind remarks from Speed Darlington but has chosen to ignore them.
The discussion has sparked varied reactions on social media, with some defending Burna Boy’s decision while others agreed with Very Dark Man’s stance.
One user, @danidel_ariinze, commented: “Sit this one out… He came for Burna unprovoked countless times on his live video.”
Another, @its_classicb, added: “Freedom of speech but freedom after speech is not guaranteed. Na me talk am bro.”
Meanwhile, @legacywealth1 shared: “This is one of the very intelligent persons in Nigeria. The right way is to go to court. What if by mistake Akpi resisted and police kill am?”
As the debate continues online, fans and onlookers are waiting to see how the situation between Burna Boy and Speed Darlington unfolds.
