Speed Darlington queries Burna Boy’s Grammy win, cites Diddy

Nigerian singer Speed Darlington has stirred up a new wave of controversy by attributing Burna Boy’s Grammy win to the influence of American rapper and music mogul, Diddy. The claim comes in the midst of Diddy's recent legal troubles, with reports of his arrest by the FBI on charges related to human trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, as covered by Gistreel.

In a video shared on Instagram, Speed Darlington boldly suggested that Diddy’s involvement was the driving force behind Burna Boy’s rapid rise to global stardom and his eventual Grammy win. He emphasized that Diddy's backing wasn’t just a casual mentorship but a key factor in Burna’s international success.

Darlington went further, openly challenging Burna Boy to address his relationship with Diddy. He humorously insinuated that there might have been more to their connection, jokingly asking, "Burna Boy, don’t be offended, but how many oils did Diddy use on you before they gave you the Grammy Award?"

The remarks have sparked conversations online, as fans weigh in on whether Burna Boy’s achievements can be solely attributed to his talent or if Diddy’s influence played a crucial role behind the scenes. Speed Darlington’s characteristic blend of humor and controversy has once again placed him in the spotlight, as his comments fuel ongoing discussions about celebrity collaborations and the influence of industry giants.
