Popular Nigerian rapper faces allegation of def!l!ng 16-year-old girl

Controversial rapper Speed Darlington is at the center of fresh outrage after a video surfaced online accusing him of raping a teenage girl.
The viral clip, which has created widespread condemnation, shows the girl’s mother confronting the rapper and alleging that her 16-year-old daughter was sexually assaulted by him. While the visibly distressed teenager remains silent throughout the exchange, Speed Darlington is seen defending himself by accusing the woman of trespassing and invading his privacy—without directly addressing the rape allegation.
The video has since ignited a storm of reactions across social media platforms, with netizens calling for immediate intervention by security agencies and child protection authorities. Many have described the footage as deeply troubling, urging law enforcement to investigate the claims thoroughly and ensure justice is served.
As of the time of filing this report, no official statement has been issued by the police regarding the incident.
This latest controversy adds to the rapper’s history of public disputes. He previously drew criticism over a high-profile spat with Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy, after accusing him of leveraging alleged ties with embattled American music executive Sean “Diddy” Combs to secure international recognition.
