Nigerian musician Darlington Okoye, also known as Speed Darlington, has achieved a big milestone with his current single, 'Baby Oil', which has risen to the top of the Spotify charts.

This success comes on the heels of Speed Darlington's public criticism of fellow artiste Burna Boy, which was sparked by the recent arrest of American singer Sean 'Diddy' Combs.

Released shortly after his criticism of Burna Boy, the diss track quickly drew listeners' attention, becoming the highest new entry on Spotify's daily top chart.

Fans are ecstatic about the song, which has daring lyrics in which Speed Darlington playfully references a previous event with an American character.

He provocatively advised that someone "pull his undergarment up," referring to an incident in which it was purportedly pulled down.

This catchy line, combined with his unusual approach, appealed to fans and contributed to the song's viral success.

The release of 'Baby Oil' came shortly after Speed Darlington celebrated his release from jail with a social media post that included baby oil.

Speed Darlington apologized to fellow artiste Damini Ogulu, also known as Burna Boy, for a recent incident that resulted in his imprisonment.

Stan Alieke, Speed Darlington's lawyer, stated on social media shortly after his client was released from detention, detailing the details of the incident.

In the statement, Alieke stated that Speed Darlington's controversial videos were created solely for entertainment purposes, with no intent to disparage or disrespect any individuals. 

further stated that Darlington is known for providing delight to his audience and that his comments were misconstrued.

In response to the statements regarding Burna Boy's mother, Alieke underlined that Speed Darlington held his mother in high regard and had never intended to offend her. 

He said that the comments were taken out of context and were unintended.
To make apologies, Speed Darlington personally contacted Burna Boy and his crew in a show of goodwill, offering additional clarifications and an apology.
