Speed Darlington, the controversial Nigerian rapper, has been making waves in the music industry. Recently, he addressed fans who have been comparing him to the award-winning Afrobeat singer, Wizkid.
The rapper noted that he is approaching 8 years in the music industry and he and Wizkid have never met, even though the singer once acknowledged him in New York.
Speaking during a recent Instagram live session with fans, Speed Darlington fumed: “Why are people telling me that I am better than Wizkid? How do I and Wizkid correlate? Do you know how many years I’ve been in this industry? Seven years. Next year, May 17 or 16, I will be 8 years in the industry and I’ve never met Wizkid. Although he has previously acknowledged me in New York. He posted one of my songs. Please, stop the comparison.”
Speed Darlington expressed strong displeasure over the constant comparison between him and Wizkid. He emphasized that despite their different paths, fans continue to pit them against each other. As an artist who has been grinding for nearly a decade, he believes he deserves recognition in his own right.
