Controversial Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington has shared his thoughts on the ongoing Lamborghini controversy involving Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy and socialite Sophia Egbueje.
The drama began last week when a leaked audio recording surfaced, in which Sophia accused Burna Boy of failing to fulfill a promise to buy her a Lamborghini following an alleged intimate encounter.
Weighing in on the issue, Speed Darlington claimed that the entire situation was staged by Burna Boy as a way to counter speculation about his sexual orientation.
In a video posted on his Instagram story, he alleged that Burna Boy paid Sophia to create the impression that he is romantically involved with women.
Mocking the singer, Speed Darlington said, “You’re exhausting yourself, running around trying to prove to everyone that you’re not gay.”
He went on to assert: “You and that girl planned this together. I know it might damage your reputation, but you probably gave her some money to pretend to be a call girl, just so people would believe you like women. If you’re gay, you’re gay—stop stressing yourself.”
Speed Darlington’s longstanding feud with Burna Boy stems from his previous accusations that the Last Last crooner’s success was tied to his relationship with American rap mogul P. Diddy. He had also suggested that Burna Boy’s Grammy win was influenced by undisclosed dealings with the hip-hop icon.
