The Cash and Carry singer in a series of videos alleged that Burna Boy paid a price for his Grammy Awards in 2021, following the numerous legal cases the embattled rap is facing in the US.
Shortly after he was released from the first arrest, the controversial act went on to drop a create a new song Baby Oil accompanied with a music video.
It was reported that the second arrest took place in Owerri, Imo state. Speed Darlington was said to have been performing at an event before the uniformed men picked him up.
Recounting how it happened, Akpi as he is fondly called by fans claimed that 2 groups of police squad hijacked him while he was leaving the premises.
The rapper mentioned that he had thought his host sent the police officers to see him off to his hotel room.
It wasn’t until 12 seconds into the stampede that he realised he had been arrested. He went on to bemoan the 2 months he has been away.
Sharing a clip from his last show prior to the arrest, he wrote:
“After I measured this booty right there in Owerri, 30 minutes later I came outside to go back to hotel because my obligation to the host has been fulfilled that’s when two squads of police rushed me and ruffle me up. The whole time I thought my host is trying to make me special by giving me esccort to my hotel from the venue since he was unable to provide it from hotel to the venue.. it took like 12 seconds or more before I realised that I’m on under arrest just like that I was gone for two months.”

Speed Darlington apologises to Burna Boy and mum
TheTalk.NG had earlier reported that days after the singer’s release was secured, his lawyer, Stan Alieke of Law Capitol, shared a statement where he explained the steps his client had taken since the issue with Burna Boy.
According to Akpi’s lawyer, the rapper is known by many as a joy giver, and his controversial videos were just for laughs without any intention of defaming anyone.
In the statement, he also explained Akpi’s love for his mother and how he never meant to disrespect Burna Boy’s mother because his words were misrepresented and a slip of the tongue.
