In the midst of a brewing controversy between notable Nigerian artists Burna Boy and Speed Darlington, singer Seun Kuti has made his position clear, opting to distance himself from the ongoing feud. The tension escalated after Speed Darlington was arrested following comments insinuating that Burna Boy engaged in an illicit relationship with the American music mogul Diddy in pursuit of a Grammy Award.

During a recent Instagram Live session, Kuti responded to the growing chatter among fans, firmly stating his disinterest in becoming embroiled in the matter. He emphasized that receiving lavish gifts, such as diamond jewelry from Burna Boy, does not equate to being an advisor or confidant. Kuti articulated his stance, highlighting the irony that Diddy, the very figure accused of facilitating Burna Boy’s alleged Grammy aspirations, played a significant role in elevating Speed Darlington’s career by reposting his song “Bangdadang.”

Kuti expressed his thoughts succinctly: “Don’t involve me in Burna Boy & Speed Darlington’s case; because I collected a diamond from him doesn’t mean I’m his close adviser. Diddy was even the one who made Speed Darlington popular.” He further pointed out the inconsistency in the narrative, noting, “I have done a lot of songs, and Diddy never posted any of them, but he reposted Speed Darlington’s song.”

In navigating these turbulent waters, Seun Kuti underscores a desire to maintain his independence and clearly delineates his relationship with both artists, shedding light on the complexities of fame and its associations within the Nigerian music industry.
