Nigerian artist Speed Darlington has stirred controversy yet again, this time taking aim at Lagos ladies.
The outspoken musician recently boasted about preferring New York women over Nigerian girls while evading legal troubles back home.
This comes after authorities issued a warrant for his arrest over allegations involving an underage girl.
Seeking refuge abroad, the polarizing figure resurfaced in America with fresh boasts.
A viral clip shows him gloating about “upgrading” from Nigerian women to American partners.
In his characteristic blunt style, he remarked:
“Ditched Lagos chicks for New York baddies. Thought the grass was greener overseas. Turns out American babes actually want love. Back home, it’s always ‘Where my money at?’
Social media erupted with mixed reactions:
@NaijaTruthTeller commented: “Bro spoke facts though. Naija girls see men as ATMs”
@LegalEagleNG stated: “Running to America won’t erase that arrest warrant.
Enjoy your vacation Speed, but justice waits when you return”
@IgboTraditions wrote: “Any Igbo supporting this man betrays our values. We condemn such behavior common in the north. No humor in this disgrace”
@AfroCritic tweeted: “This guy makes Portable look like a saint”
