Grammy award-winning artist Burna Boy has broken his silence regarding the backlash following Speed Darlington’s recent arrest and subsequent release on bail.
Speed Darlington, who was detained for three weeks after a performance in Owerri, Imo State, was recently granted bail. The news, shared by prominent lawyer Stanley Alieke on Instagram, brought joy to fans and reignited discussions online.
Amid the excitement, Burna Boy took to Instagram to address the controversy surrounding the arrest and the reactions it stirred.
In his post, the Party hitmaker expressed frustration with how people freely voice their opinions without facing consequences, yet his responses often spark major uproar.
“When they talk, nobody cares, but when I react, it’s a nuclear disaster,” he wrote.
Burna Boy hinted that his current success and responsibilities keep him from retaliating the way he might have in the past, stating, “Y’all don’t know how lucky you are that I have too much to lose now. Walahi, a lot of you would not be here no more. Anyway, make I just go buy another thing relax.”
The artist’s response has added another layer to the already heated conversation, leaving fans to interpret his words and wonder about his perspective on accountability in public discourse.
