Speed Darlington’s Videos About Burna Boy Were Intended Purely For Entertainment – Lawyer

Speed Darlington has reached out to Burna Boy to ask for forgiveness over a video he released that led to his detention, his lawyer, Stan Alieke has said.

He recently had his say via a press statement shared on social media, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Speed Darlington’s videos which stirred controversy were intended purely for entertainment, and he did not mean to defame or insult Burna Boy in any way.
