The singer, notorious for his provocative and often offensive social media antics, made the comments on his Instagram page, asking:
“Who wants to marry me ladies?”

Speed Darlington’s post comes in the wake of a previous scandal involving allegations of inappropriate conduct with a minor, which reportedly led to an invitation by the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP).
