Speed Darlington, the Nigerian internet sensation and musician, has once again stirred up social media with a new demand that has everyone talking. Known for his bold personality, Speed Darlington, also called “Akpi,” recently called out an unnamed rival. He demanded that Burna's mother should go down on her knees and beg him on national TV, just like his own mother did, if they want peace.
In his own words, Speed Darlington said, “Tell your mother to go down on her knees on National TV and beg me like my mum begged you if you want this to end.” But he didn’t stop there. He continued, “You wanted to show me that you are big, right? Let’s do it. Until your mother kneels down crying and begging me, I will not stop. I need to feel big too. I am not a small person.”
Speed Darlington is known for making bold statements, but this one seems personal. His words show that he feels disrespected and expects a grand public apology from his rival's mother, just as his mother reportedly did.
This demand is about more than just an apology. It shows his pride and his need for public respect. Speed Darlington seems to feel that only a big gesture can make up for the way he was wronged.
The public reacted with a mix of amusement and shock. Some people support his call for respect, while others think it’s wrong to involve family members in personal battles. Social media users quickly took sides.
Respect is very important in Nigerian culture, especially when it comes to parents. By asking for this public apology, Speed Darlington may be trying to prove that he deserves recognition and respect. His words, “I need to feel big. I am not a small person,” suggest he’s tired of being seen as lesser.
Is this about ego? Maybe, but it’s also a call for respect. Speed Darlington wants to be acknowledged on the same level as his rival.
