Cubana Chief Priest has declared his intention to champion the release of musician Speed Darlington, who remains in custody despite being granted bail. 
The renowned socialite, known for his influence within Nigeria’s entertainment industry, has vowed to secure Darlington's freedom by Monday, positioning himself as a "freedom fighter" in the ongoing drama that also involves Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy.
Speed Darlington, arrested in November 2024 on cyberstalking charges, found himself at the center of a feud with Burna Boy. The conflict escalated after Darlington released a diss track titled Baby Oil, where he mocked Burna Boy’s connection to American music mogul Diddy and questioned the authenticity of Burna Boy's Grammy win.
The controversy took another turn when Burna Boy referred to Cubana Chief Priest as an "Azaman," insinuating he was merely a middleman. In response, Chief Priest accused Burna Boy of harboring bitterness and echoed Speed Darlington’s earlier criticism of the artist’s Grammy achievement.
Stanley Alieke, Speed Darlington’s lawyer, has challenged Burna Boy to take legal action against Cubana Chief Priest for making similar allegations, highlighting a perceived inconsistency in Burna Boy’s handling of such disputes. Despite being granted bail by the Federal High Court in Abuja on Christmas Eve, Darlington remains in custody, with reports suggesting police noncompliance with the court's release order. The case is set for further hearing on January 6, 2025.
