Controversial Nigerian singer, Speed Darlington, has issued a public apology following backlash over a viral video in which he appeared to confess to a sexual encounter with a minor.

The video, which quickly drew widespread condemnation on social media, featured the artiste recounting in disturbing detail an alleged incident involving a teenage girl.

In a follow-up video shared on his Instagram page on Wednesday, Speed Darlington claimed the confession was fabricated as part of a publicity stunt aimed at promoting his latest song.

He said, “All my followers pissed off about the video I recorded in which I spoke about me sleeping with a 15-year-old, I am an artiste. I need controversy to eat. If you are not trending, you are not getting booked. Simple! Nobody is booking something that is not trending”

“I have a new song now. The song is talking about f#ck this, f#ck that. This is my genre. I do not perform Christian music. When I dropped my song, I needed f#ck contents to push it. That is what I was doing. Don’t give it more than it is supposed to have. If any of you are offended, it’s alright. Apologies.”
