The mother of Nigerian artist Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, has pleaded with Grammy award-winning singer Burna Boy to release her son.
Darlington went missing after he made a video and posted it online about Burna Boy’s s*xuality, the latter’s relationship with American Rapper, Diddy. The video soon went viral and allegedly angered Burna Boy.
In a tearful video posted on Instagram, Queenbwho identified herself as Darlington’s mother, alleged that Burna Boy and his team came to her son’s home and took him away, according to information provided by Darlington’s security personnel.

His gateman alerted our family, sharing that Burna Boy visited with his team and took Darlington from his home. Please, Darlington is my only son, my only child,” she said, visibly distressed.
Queen called on Nigerians and fans of her son to help mediate. The heartbroken and teary mother stated that Darlington is her only child and expressed how the incident has left her with no other option but to ask for clemency.
“You people, all Darlington’s fans should help to beg Burna Boy. Burna Boy, please temper justice with mercy. Forgive Darlington, this is me, Darlington’s biological mother, I am begging, I don’t know what to say other than begging.
“I am a mother, grandmother. He is my only son, forgive him. I am just asking for forgiveness. Burna Boy, please. Please, forgive my son, release him. All Darlington’s fans out there, please help me to beg Burna Boy for the release of Darlington.
“Nigerians, please come to son’s aid. Please, I am begging, I am on my knees begging, I am just begging. I have no words, I have nothing to say than to beg Burna Boy. Burna Boy please, I am on my knees,” she pleaded.
