Controversial Nigerian rapper, Speed Darlington, has made headlines once again this time for his remarks about Nigerian women after reportedly fleeing the country.
Recall that the artist was recently declared wanted by the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) over allegations of having sexual relations with a minor. In the wake of the controversy, Speed Darlington swiftly left Nigeria and returned to the United States.
In a video circulating online, the rapper was seen boasting about his decision to abandon Nigerian women for their New York counterparts. He claimed that women in New York are more emotionally invested in relationships, while accusing Nigerian women of being overly focused on money.
He said in part …
“I left Lagos girl for New York girls. I thought they were better. This people dey do love. Our own people na ‘give me money, give me money’.

@tsetseSBM said: “Honestly,
Speed Darlington never fails to entertain.
But relocating to New York to chill won’t erase the fact that NAPTIP declared you wanted.
Enjoy your time there, but you’ll still have to face the music when you come back to Nigeria”
