Speed Darlington Apologises to Burna Boy, Gives Him Two Weeks to Withdraw Charges

Controversial Nigerian singer Speed Darlington has appealed to Grammy-winning artiste Burna Boy to withdraw all charges against him within two weeks, promising to stop making comments about the singer’s sexuality.

Darlington made the appeal in an apology video addressed directly to Burna Boy, admitting that he was wrong to assume that everyone viewed issues from the same perspective.

“This video is for Burna Boy. Burna, this is an apology video. I apologise for any pain that I have caused you, any [unclear] that I have caused you. I made a mistake of thinking that everybody vibrates at the same frequency. That’s wrong of me,” he said.

The singer promised to stop making both direct and indirect comments about Burna Boy’s sexuality if the Grammy winner agreed to withdraw the charges.

“I give you my word that if you withdraw all charges and let everything die, I give you my word that I will never make any direct comment regarding sexuality. Even indirect comment, I will no longer try such thing. I give you my word. Let peace reign,” he pleaded.

Speed Darlington specifically asked Burna Boy to withdraw the charges within the next two weeks, adding that he would no longer mention the singer’s name.

“I promise that I will never use my mouth to mention your name,” he added.

The appeal comes amid the legal dispute between the two artistes, although the source report does not provide details of the current status of the case or any response from Burna Boy.
