Controversial Nigerian entertainer Speed Darlington has sparked reactions online after sharing a personal experience about a failed relationship.
In a video circulating on social media, the singer lamented how a woman he intended to marry allegedly distanced herself from him after receiving more expensive gifts from other men.
According to him, he had previously expressed his intention to settle down with her and had even gifted her a phone, but things changed after he posted her picture online.
“Is that how I will get married? This was my girlfriend. I had already made my intention known to her that I would marry her. I bought her an iPhone 8 last year, but just because I posted her picture online, some men went after her and bought her an iPhone 17 Pro Max. Now she no longer talks to me.”
He further claimed that their relationship deteriorated to the point where she allegedly demanded money before agreeing to see him.
“Recently, I invited her to see her, and she charged me ₦100,000.”
