Controversial rapper Darlington Okoye, aka Speed Darlington, has revealed that he has been arrested 19 times.

He also disclosed that he has been detained five times.

The ‘Bangdadadang’ crooner made this known in a freestyle video shared via his social media page.

“5 lockups, 19 arrests, I get game but I no dey hear, when you hear this one, na Kuje,” he raps.

Ekwutosblog recalls that Darlington was arrested twice in October and November 2024, after mocking Burna Boy’s relationship with the embattled American music executive, Sean Combs, aka Diddy.

He was detained at the Kuje Correctional Facility but was released on January 21st, weeks after he was granted bail by a Federal High Court in Abuja.

Days after his release, Darlington alleged on social media that he narrowly escaped assassination on his way from a club in Lagos.

His lawyer, Stan Alieke, announced that he and his law firm had cut ties with the rapper in the wake of the assassination attempt allegations.

Speed Darlington stated that his lawyer was welcome to leave if he was tired of supporting him.

Renowned singer Justin Bieber, 30, was spotted looking frail and exhausted during a recent outing in New York City on January 29. His gaunt appearance, paired with a baggy yellow hoodie and loose-fitting beige pants, has fueled speculation about turmoil in his marriage to Hailey Bieber.

As Bieber stepped out, he appeared visibly drained, and at one point, he was seen clutching his crotch while frowning. This unsettling display has ignited rumors about the state of his marriage.

Sources close to Hailey’s inner circle have revealed to DailyMail that they are increasingly worried about Justin’s “erratic behavior,” with some even urging her to reevaluate the relationship. An insider disclosed that Hailey has been struggling with Justin’s unpredictable nature since the beginning of their marriage.

“Hailey loves him deeply, but he’s a wild card,” the source confessed. “Some of her friends have advised her to consider moving on and leaving him behind. His behavior is sometimes unacceptable, and she’s tolerated a lot.”

Initially, Hailey’s inner circle had hoped that fatherhood would bring about a positive transformation in Justin, especially after he was highly supportive following the birth of their son in August 2024. However, according to the insider, this change has not been sustained.

In a recent attempt to dispel rumors about marital troubles, Justin attributed his brief unfollowing of Hailey on Instagram to a hacked account. He later addressed the situation, stating, someone went on his account and unfollowed his wife.
