Afrobeats Superstar Damini Ogulu a.k.a Burna Boy has pardoned Darlington Okoye and set him free after he had him locked up in police detention for allegedly defaming him.
Burna Boy posting on his social media page said it was Speed Darlington’s mom’s pleas that made him forgive and forget.
“Seeing your mom on her knees begging me to release you got me emotional. I cherish all the mom’s out there,” said Burna Boy.
” For over 20 years of life, I worked hard, dropping classics and getting zero attention. Many told me to give up and chase a better career. Many made mockery of me and said music wasn’t my thing.
“Today after so many years of putting in work, I’m a successful artist and one unfortunate dude somewhere is on the internet, saying abominable things about my career simply because he has a mouth.
“If not of your mama, you would’ve stayed in jail for the exact number of years I stayed underground as an artiste. Go home to Mommy and sin no more”
Speed Darlington in a video posted online had cast aspersions on Burna Boy’s Grammy Awards win, by insinuating that it was Burna Boy’s association with disgraced American rapper, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs that made it possible.
He was arrested last week Friday and flown to Abuja where he was detained.
