Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington has publicly appealed to Burna Boy to forgive him and withdraw the charges against him.
The rapper, whose real name is Darlington Okoye, made the appeal in an apology video shared on his Facebook page. He admitted that his earlier comments about the singer’s sexuality were wrong.
In the video, Speed Darlington expressed regret over the remarks. He also promised to stop making direct or indirect comments about Burna Boy if the singer agreed to withdraw the charges.
Addressing the singer, he said:
“This video is for Burna Boy. Burna, this is apology video. I apologize. For any pain that I have caused you, any shame that I have caused you.
“I made the mistake of thinking that everybody vibrate at the same frequency.
That’s wrong of me. I apologize, Burna Boy.”
He further appealed to the singer to give him another chance, promising to avoid discussing his personal life.
“I give you my word that if you withdraw all charges and let everything de, I give you my word I will never make any direct comment regarding your s+x*ality, even indirect comment. I will no longer try such thing. I give you my word. Let peace reign.
“Withdraw all charges, from now to the next two weeks. I promise, I will never use my mouth to mention your name,” he said.
The Speed Darlington apology to Burna Boy comes amid the legal dispute between both entertainers.
His latest message appears to be an attempt to settle the disagreement and bring an end to their legal battle.
However, it remains unclear whether Burna Boy will accept the apology or withdraw the charges.
