Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington recently opened up about his second arrest, which occurred after a performance in Owerri, Imo State.
The artiste, who previously faced legal trouble due to defamatory statements regarding Burna Boy’s relationship with Diddy, recounted the details of the incident in a social media post.
He posted a video of his activity at the event he attended before his arrest. Darlington was seen measuring a lady's backside expressing his surprise about her endowment.
According to Speed Darlington, two police squads approached him as he was leaving the event venue. Initially, he believed the officers were sent by his event host to ensure his safe return to his hotel. However, it wasn't until approximately 12 seconds into the encounter that he realized he was being arrested.
His caption read; “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 escort 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 could realize that I'm on under arrest just like that I was gone for two months. Omo if you see her tell her she carry bad luck.”
This revelation has sparked reactions from netizens, with many highlighting the rapper's controversial history.
