‘I’m Begging On My Knees’ – Speed Darlington’s Mother Pleads With Burna Boy For Son’s Release

Queen, the mother of Nigerian artist Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, has made an emotional appeal to Grammy-winning musician Burna Boy, pleading for her son’s release after he reportedly went missing.

This comes after Darlington’s recent online video about Burna Boy, which seems to have caused some controversy.

In a tearful video posted on Instagram, Queen, identifying herself as Darlington’s mother, claimed that Burna Boy and his team went to her son’s home and took him away, according to information provided by Darlington’s security personnel.

“Good day everyone, I am Mrs. Queen, the mother of Darlington, also known as Speed Darlington.

I was informed that my son is missing. 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 continued her plea, asking Nigerians and fans of her son to help mediate. She explained that Darlington is her only child, and the incident has left her with no other option but to ask for mercy.

“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 my 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.

Meanwhile, it was earlier reported by Naija News that **Deji Adeyanju**, a lawyer and activist, confirmed that Speed Darlington, also known as Akpi, is currently in police custody in Abuja.

According to Adeyanju, Darlington was detained in Lagos on Friday and later transferred to Abuja, reportedly following a complaint from Burna Boy, though further details on the matter have yet to emerge.
