The public confession of controversial Nigerian rapper, Darlington Okoye, otherwise known as Speed Darlington, about getting intimate with a 15-year-old teenage girl has sparked outrage on social media.
This is coming after Darlington during a recent live-session on Instagram recounted his experience with a fifteen-year-old in one of the hotels in Lagos
“I can’t imagine working in a hotel and being the one to clean bedsheets used by strangers cause I recently slept with a 15yr old girl at a certain hotel and she méssêd up the sheets with blood because she was still a virgin,” the self-acclaimed rapper was heard saying during his live session.
He continued, “Before they could come change the sheets for me, I had to let go of N2,000
“Because the thing is somehow, to tell an adult to come and clean bl**d; bl**d that I brought out of the body of a 15-year-old girl.
“I can never work for anybody, lai lai. I only work for myself.”
Reacting, some Nigerians took to micro-blogging platform, X (formerly known as Twitter) to call for his arrest, as they condemn the statements made by the rapper, referring to him as a paedophile.
