Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington, also known as Akpi, has publicly apologised to singer Burna Boy and appealed to him to withdraw the legal charges against him amid their ongoing dispute.
The rapper made the appeal in an apology video shared on his Facebook page, where he expressed regret over comments he had made about Burna Boy’s sexuality.
Speed Darlington admitted that he was wrong to assume that everyone viewed issues from the same perspective and asked the singer to forgive him for any pain or embarrassment his remarks may have caused.
“This video is for Burna Boy. Burna, this is apology video. I apologise. For any pain that I have caused you, any shame that I have caused you.
“I made the mistake of thinking that everybody vibrate at the same frequency. That’s wrong of me. I apologise, Burna Boy,” he said.
He further promised to stop making both direct and indirect comments about the singer’s sexuality if Burna Boy agreed to withdraw all charges and allow the dispute to end.
“I give you my word that if you withdraw all charges and let everything die, I give you my word I will never make any direct comment regarding your sexuality, even indirect comment. I will no longer try such thing. I give you my word. Let peace reign.
“Withdraw all charges, from now to the next two weeks. I promise, I will never use my mouth to mention your name,” he added.
The apology comes amid the ongoing legal dispute between the two entertainers, with Speed Darlington now appealing for an end to the matter and promising not to make further remarks about Burna Boy.
