Recall that the rapper during a recent Instagram live session confessed to defiled a 15-year-old girl.
Controversial musician, Speed Darlington, aka Akpi has tendered an apology to Nigerians after a video of him confessing to have slept with a 15-year-old teenager went viral.
In a recent post, the singer claimed it was a prank.
His confession had sparked controversy, with many calling for his arrest.
The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency, DSVA, also reacted, revealing that it has forwarded the case to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons for further action.
In a new video shared via his Instagram page, Speed Darlington claimed his r@pe admittance was a prank, intended to spark controversy.
“This video is for all of you who are ranging because I said I had s3xual encounter with a 15-year-old. I’m an artiste, we need controversy to eat. If you are not trending, you are not going to get booked for shows. I just dropped a song titled, ‘Village Girl.’ It’s about coitus. I don’t do Christian music. When we release a song like that, we make s3xual content to promote it.
“So, that was what I was doing. Don’t give it more light that it is supposed to have. But if any of you is offended, apologies… For intending artists, you have to be controversial. That was what you saw me doing in that video, selling my market. That’s what it is. And I hope you guys understand. Peace!”
