Burna Boy Releases Speed Darlington After Emotional Plea from His Mother
Grammy-winning Nigerian artist, Burna Boy, recently shared a heartfelt statement after releasing fellow musician, Speed Darlington, from custody. Burna Boy explained that his decision was driven by an emotional plea from Speed Darlington’s mother, who begged for her son’s release.
“Seeing your mom on her knees begging me to release you got me emotional,” Burna Boy said, adding, “I cherish all the mothers out there.” He emphasized the respect he has for mothers and the power of their influence, noting that it was her plea that changed the outcome.
Burna Boy also reflected on the challenges he has faced in his career, revealing that for many years he struggled to gain recognition. “For over 20 years, I worked hard, dropping classics and getting zero attention. Many told me to give up, mocking me and saying music wasn’t my thing,” he shared. His journey from being overlooked to becoming a global superstar resonates with many who have faced similar struggles.
However, Burna Boy didn’t hold back his frustration towards Speed Darlington’s past disrespectful remarks. “After all my years of hard work, some unfortunate dude goes on the internet saying abominable things about my career,” Burna Boy said, making it clear that he had been deeply affected by the comments.
In a stern but merciful conclusion, Burna Boy stated, “If not for your mama, you would’ve stayed in jail for as many years as I stayed underground as an artist. Go home to Mommy and sin no more.” His statement highlights the power of forgiveness while reminding Speed Darlington of the consequences of his actions.
This episode reveals Burna Boy’s compassionate side and underscores the importance of respect, family bonds, and the influence of mothers in shaping decisions, even in difficult situations.
