This came after reports claimed that 1000 baby oils were found in the rap mogul’s house amid sex trafficking allegations and more.
In his clip, Speedy asked Burna how many bottles of baby oil Diddy used on him and attributed his Grammy win to that. Not stopping there, he went on to hurl shades at the City Boy’s crooner’s mother.
Daniel Regha, in a post on Elon Musk X, pointed out that such allegations can be seen as defamation, which is indeed a legal issue, and that while it’s crucial to protect individuals from unlawful actions, it’s also valid for them to seek legal recourse for false accusations.
He emphasised the tendency for netizens to frame Burna’s action as “oppressors vs. oppressed” rather than recognising that blame might be shared by several parties.
The online critic stressed the complexity of social dynamics and the importance of addressing all sides of an issue rather than defaulting to a one-sided view.
He wrote:
“Speed Darlington has been coming for Burna unprovoked, & even went as far as alleging that Burna has been oiled-up by Diddy. After such accusation the internet ran wild, people were trying to cancel Burna & undermine all his accomplishments based on a conspiracy theory.
“That right there is defamation of one’s character, which is a crime. While it’s wrong to abuse power by whisking someone away unlawfully, there’s nothing wrong if legal actions are also taken. Two truths can coexist, but as usual, y’all like to make everything about Oppressors vs the Oppressed, instead of to apportion blame among those involved.”
