“From what I feel, I dey spoil something for am. The amount of effort he put in is more. I feel like I got it made than him. Seriously, I feel like I’m more successful than him. Like there’s nothing to take.
“But you on the outside looking in, you no go see am,” he remarked, indicating that Burna Boy’s determination to silence him only boosted his own confidence and sense of achievement.
The backstory to this statement lies in the petition filed by Burna Boy, which accused Speed Darlington of defamation. The arrest sent shockwaves through social media, with fans and critics alike weighing in on the drama between the two artists.
While many were quick to side with Burna Boy, questioning Darlington’s motives, the controversial musician has consistently maintained that his remarks were misinterpreted.
During the live chat, Darlington expressed that the attention and effort Burna Boy directed towards him—especially in seeking legal action—made him feel more relevant in the industry.
