The internet is in a frenzy following the continued detention of popular Nigerian entertainer Speed Darlington, despite promises by socialite Cubana Chief Priest to secure his release.
The controversy began when Speed Darlington, fondly known as Akpi, was reportedly arrested amidst his ongoing feud with music superstar Burna Boy.
Fans and observers were taken aback when Cubana Chief Priest publicly declared that he would use his influence to ensure Akpi's freedom by Monday.
However, as of Wednesday, Speed Darlington remains in police custody, sparking widespread outrage and disappointment.
Social media has been flooded with reactions, with many questioning the credibility of Cubana Chief Priest’s claims and his ability to deliver on his promises.
Twitter user Mene Ra, tweeting under the handle @iamdchairman, expressed frustration, writing, “Cubana Chief Priest said he'll release Speed Darlington on Monday, today is Wednesday speed is still in custody. Power no pass power again??”
This sentiment was echoed by another user, OLAMIDE (@OlamideOfficial), who remarked, “Cubana Chief Priest said he's going to show us the real power by bailing Speed Darlington on Monday, today is Wednesday and Akpi is yet to be released. As far as I'm concerned, he lost the battle with Burna Boy.”
The situation took another twist when Dr. A. TuruMbe (@NDrAgwoTurumbe) weighed in, declaring that Cubana Chief Priest had failed to live up to his reputation.
“For not facilitating the release of Akpi on Monday, Cubana Chief Priest lost the battle with Burna Boy. After making so much noise, he couldn't get Speed Darlington out. If you can't show us say ‘Moni na Wota’ then you really are nothing but an AZAMAN,” Dr. TuruMbe tweeted, referencing Cubana Chief Priest’s famous catchphrase.
The criticism didn’t stop there.
Another user, benny. (@benny7gg), accused Cubana Chief Priest of engaging in "eye service" and living a fake life, writing, “Let’s not forget Cubana Chief Priest swore he was going to get Speed Darlington out of police custody, but he didn’t even appear in court this past Monday for the case. Eye service and fake life just too much for Davido camp.”
The hashtag #FreeSpeedDarlington has since been trending, with fans demanding accountability and swift action to secure the entertainer’s release.
Speed Darlington, known for his controversial antics and larger-than-life personality, has a dedicated fan base that has rallied behind him during his legal troubles.
Many believe that his ongoing feud with Burna Boy played a role in his arrest, and they see his detention as a continuation of the battle between the two entertainers.
The failure of Cubana Chief Priest to follow through on his promise has further fueled the narrative, with some suggesting that his inability to act has handed Burna Boy a symbolic victory in their feud.
Cubana Chief Priest, a well-known businessman and celebrity influencer, has long boasted of his connections and influence in the entertainment and political circles.
His promise to secure Speed Darlington’s release was initially met with excitement, with fans expecting swift action.
However, the lack of progress has led to a wave of skepticism and criticism, tarnishing his image in the eyes of many.
The situation has also reignited conversations about the role of money and influence in Nigeria’s legal system, with some arguing that Cubana Chief Priest’s failure to deliver exposes the limitations of wealth and connections.
Observers have pointed out that despite his public declarations, Cubana Chief Priest has yet to make any official statement addressing the delay or providing an explanation for the continued detention of Speed Darlington.
This silence has only fueled the speculation, with critics accusing him of abandoning Akpi in his time of need.
Supporters of Speed Darlington are now calling on other influential figures in the entertainment industry to step in and help secure his release.
Some have even reached out to notable artists and industry heavyweights, urging them to intervene and ensure that justice is served.
Meanwhile, Burna Boy, who has remained silent on the matter, continues to trend on social media as fans draw comparisons between his success and the current predicament of Speed Darlington.
The perceived victory of Burna Boy in this unfolding drama has only intensified the rivalry, with some fans declaring him the ultimate winner of their beef.
The entire saga has highlighted the power of social media in shaping public opinion and holding influential figures accountable.
As the calls for Speed Darlington’s release grow louder, all eyes are on Cubana Chief Priest to see whether he will fulfill his promise or face further backlash from fans and critics alike.
The ongoing drama serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics within Nigeria’s entertainment industry, where personal feuds, public perceptions, and legal battles often intersect.
For now, Speed Darlington’s supporters remain hopeful that their beloved Akpi will soon regain his freedom, even as they continue to question the role of those who pledged to help but have yet to deliver.
This incident has undoubtedly left a mark on Cubana Chief Priest’s reputation, with many questioning whether his influence is as far-reaching as he claims.
As the days pass, the pressure mounts, and the public awaits a resolution to what has become one of the most talked-about controversies in recent weeks.
Only time will tell whether Speed Darlington’s detention will be resolved amicably or if it will further expose the rifts and power dynamics within Nigeria’s entertainment landscape.
For now, the outrage persists, and the demand for justice remains as strong as ever.
