Concerns have mounted in the Nigerian entertainment scene as controversial rapper and social media personality Darlington Okoye, better known as Speed Darlington, has reportedly been missing for three days.
His sudden disappearance has sparked alarm among fans and fellow content creators alike.
The news broke when fellow content creator Constance took to social media to raise the alarm, noting Speed Darlington’s unusual absence from online platforms.
Known for his constant engagement with fans, the last post on his social media accounts was made three days ago. Constance shared her worries, stating, “Good evening everyone. URGENT NOTICE: It has come to our notice that Speed Darlington (Akpi) has been missing for days now. The last post on his page was made 3 days ago, and up till now, no one has heard from him. We’ve tried to reach him but no luck. If anyone has any information, please don’t hesitate to share.”
As news of his disappearance spread, fans flooded social media with expressions of concern and speculation.
Many have voiced their fears that his absence could be linked to a recent video in which he questioned the authenticity of Burna Boy’s Grammy Award, suggesting a connection to American music mogul Diddy.
Burna Boy responded to the situation with a cryptic message on his account, stating, “7 is Real,” followed by “Who’s missing?”
This ambiguous response has led to debates among fans, with interpretations ranging from dismissive to deeply suggestive.
