Controversial Nigerian musician and social media personality, Speed Darlington, has once again thrown the internet into chaos after making more disturbing statements during an Instagram Live session.

This comes days after a video surfaced of the singer boasting about allegedly having relations with a 15-year-old virgin, a claim that sparked massive criticism and calls for his arrest.

Rather than retracting or apologising, Speed Darlington chose to defend his actions, saying the backlash he’s receiving is not because of what he said, but where he’s from.

The singer declared unapologetically in his latest IG session: “If I knew 15 would bring me this much attention, I would have said 12. It is because I am in Southern Nigeria. Would you come at me if we were in Sokoto?

You would never disrespect me like this.” Speed went further to allege that many men in the North marry underage girls and are celebrated, yet no one attacks them as they are doing to him. His statements have triggered fresh outrage, with many accusing him of trying to justify an offensive and unlawful act by deflecting blame and making dangerous comparisons."
