Stan Alieke, the lawyer representing Speed Darlington, has called on Burna Boy to take action against socialite Cubana Chief Priest for making a remark about the singer’s Grammy win. Alieke suggested that Burna Boy should arrest Chief Priest, just as he did with Speed Darlington, following comments made about Diddy oil.
The ongoing feud between Burna Boy and Cubana Chief Priest intensified after the Afrobeat artist took to his social media to post a message that many interpreted as a subtle jab at Chief Priest, a close associate of singer Davido. Burna Boy had referred to him as “Owerri Rick Ross.”
In retaliation, Cubana Chief Priest made his own post, referencing Burna Boy’s Grammy win and suggesting it had something to do with Diddy. He wrote, “Diddy oil the fastest way to PTSD. You never see anything, you and your bend down collect Grammy.”
Alieke, who represents Speed Darlington (also known as Akpi), weighed in on the situation, challenging Burna Boy to involve the police and arrest Cubana Chief Priest. He pointed out the hypocrisy of Burna Boy’s previous actions, saying, “Your petition claims that the Diddy and baby oil banter has caused ‘irreparable damage to your international reputation and has made you lose a lot of gigs.’”
Alieke continued, “Hey, another person with more reach and influence just referred to the baby oil and Diddy banter, so the world is expecting you to engage the police and arrest him since that’s your modus operandi, or the street will interpret it as cowardice.”
The lawyer emphasized his desire for justice, stating, “Well, I’m just a lawyer that wants justice to go round.”
Notably, Speed Darlington, also known as Akpi, has been arrested twice by Burna Boy on charges of cyberstalking.
