Controversial Nigerian singer Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, has appealed to Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy to forgive him and withdraw the court charges.
Speed Darlington appealed in an apology video addressed to the Last Last crooner, expressing regret over comments he had made about the singer.
In the video, he apologised for any pain or embarrassment his remarks might have caused Burna Boy, admitting he had mistakenly assumed everyone shared the same outlook.
He also promised to stop making comments about Burna Boy’s sexuality, which had been a major point of contention between the two entertainers.
The singer further pledged to stop mentioning Burna Boy’s name if he agreed to withdraw the charges within the next two weeks.
Appealing for reconciliation, Speed Darlington said he wanted peace to reign and assured Burna Boy that he would not insult him again.
The disagreement between the singers had previously attracted public attention, with Speed Darlington repeatedly making comments about Burna Boy following the latter’s Grammy recognition and association with American rapper Diddy.
Their dispute also led to legal proceedings, with Speed Darlington facing allegations linked to his comments about the singer.
