Controversial Nigerian singer and internet personality Speed Darlington is under fire again, this time from entertainer Mcee Slimjoe, who has accused the rapper of taking loyal supporters for granted.
Slimjoe’s public outburst comes right on the heels of major drama involving Speed Darlington’s former manager, Goskey, who recently quit his role. Goskey publicly alleged that the musician owes him three years of unpaid salary, mistreated him, and paid him a mere ₦200,000 out of the multi-million naira payout from his viral boxing match against comedian Carter Efe.
Slimjoe Shares His Personal Experience
Adding his voice to the growing list of aggrieved associates, Slimjoe recounted an incident from 2025 when he made a long-distance trip from Abia State to Lagos just to show solidarity at Speed Darlington’s event.
According to Slimjoe, despite making such a heavy commitment to support the singer, he was handed a paltry ₦50,000 for his efforts.
Expressing his frustration, Slimjoe warned people against dealing with the artist:
“Speed Darlington is a wicked person. He’s not the type of person people should associate with. I once travelled from Abia to Lagos for his show in 2025, only for him to give me ₦50,000.”
Growing Backlash Surrounding the Rapper
Slimjoe further claimed that he had shown up for Speed Darlington on numerous occasions, only to be met with a total lack of appreciation.
