Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington, popularly known as Akpi, has publicly apologised to Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy, asking him to withdraw all legal charges arising from their ongoing dispute.
In an apology video shared on his Facebook page, the rapper admitted that he was wrong to make comments about Burna Boy’s sexuality and appealed to the singer to forgive him and allow peace to prevail.
Addressing the singer directly, Speed Darlington said:
“This video is for Burna Boy. Burna, this is apology video. I apologise. For any pain that I have caused you, any shame that I have caused you.
“I made the mistake of thinking that everybody vibrates at the same frequency. That’s wrong of me. I apologise, Burna Boy.”
He further promised that if Burna Boy withdrew all the charges, he would never make direct or indirect comments about the singer’s sexuality again.
Speed Darlington also pledged to stop mentioning Burna Boy’s name, appealing to him to withdraw the charges within the next two weeks.
The latest development comes amid the pair’s prolonged public feud, which has involved controversial remarks, arrests and legal proceedings.
It remains to be seen whether Burna Boy will accept the apology and agree to withdraw the legal action.
Do you think Burna Boy should forgive Speed Darlington and withdraw the charges, or should the legal process continue?
