Nigerian rapper, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, has received backlash after openly speaking about getting intimate with a 15-year-old girl in hotel.
Darlington had in a recent live-session on YouTube seen by Truthlive News revealed his experience with a fifteen-year-old in one of the hotels in Lagos.
He said while switching between Igbo and English languages, “I can’t imagine working in a hotel and being the one to clean bedsheets used by strangers cause I recently slept with a 15yr old girl at a certain hotel and she méssêd up the sheets with blood because she was still a virgin.”
“Before they could come change the sheets for me, I had to let go of N2,000.
“Because the thing is somehow, to tell an adult to come and clean bl**d; bl**d that I brought out of the body of a 15-year-old girl.
Obviously outraged by his statement, some Nigerians took to micro-blogging platform, X (formerly known as Twitter) to call for his immediate arrest.
Many condemned the statements made by the rapper, referring to him as a paedophile.
