Actor BabaRex Defends Burna Boy in Clash with Speed Darlington
Overview of the Dispute
Actor BabaRex has expressed his concerns over Nigerians portraying Speed Darlington as a victim in his ongoing clash with fellow artist Burna Boy. The incident began after Speed Darlington, a controversial singer, was arrested in Lagos and taken to Abuja. Although the specific details of the petition that led to his arrest have not been revealed, it is widely believed to be linked to various online videos where Speed Darlington made inflammatory comments about Burna Boy.
Speed Darlington’s Comments on Burna Boy
In September 2023, Speed Darlington shared a video where he raised questions about Burna Boy’s sexuality due to the latter’s perceived close relationship with American artist Diddy. This video, among others, has been circulated widely on social media, drawing attention to Speed Darlington’s continued attacks on Burna Boy.
Public Outcry and Reactions
Following Speed Darlington’s arrest, many Nigerians criticized Burna Boy for involving the police in the matter, accusing him of using his influence to suppress his critics. Some online commentators labeled Burna Boy as an oppressor, arguing that using legal means to silence Speed Darlington was excessive. The clash quickly gained momentum online, with many weighing in on both sides of the debate.
BabaRex Questions Public Support for Speed Darlington
Amidst the heated debate, actor BabaRex took to his Instagram page to voice his thoughts on the situation. He questioned whether it was acceptable for Speed Darlington to hurl insults at Burna Boy without expecting any repercussions. BabaRex pointed out the imbalance in public reactions, highlighting that Burna Boy should have the right to defend himself from baseless accusations.
In his post, BabaRex wrote: “So it was okay for Akpi to disrespect him?” His statement directly challenges those who are making Speed Darlington seem like a victim while ignoring the provocations that led to Burna Boy’s legal action.
Addressing the Use of Legal Action
Many observers have been divided on the appropriateness of Burna Boy’s decision to file a police petition against Speed Darlington. While some argue that involving law enforcement in celebrity disputes can escalate tensions, others believe that it is an effective way to address defamatory statements.
BabaRex’s stance aligns with the latter group, suggesting that Burna Boy’s move is justified, especially if Speed Darlington’s accusations were damaging to Burna Boy’s reputation. BabaRex’s remarks echo the sentiment that public figures should not be immune to accountability for their actions, even if they are engaging in online discourse.
Social Media Reactions
Social media has been flooded with reactions to the ongoing dispute. While some people have defended Speed Darlington’s right to free speech, others support Burna Boy’s decision to protect his image. BabaRex’s comments further intensified the conversation, with users responding both in favor of and against his views.
