Music executive Paulo Okoye has slammed activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju for dragging singer, Samini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy’s name over the arrest of Speed Darlington.
Earlier today, Deji Adeyanju bashed Burna Boy for singing legendary Fela Kuti’s lines of activism while oppressing people.
In response, Paulo took to his Instagram story to slam Deji Adeyanju for attacking Burna Boy. He identified the human rights lawyer as a social media lawyer who doesn’t have the right to malign the singer’s name.
He asked him to get his facts right and call his client to order. He urged him to put some respect on Burna Boy’s name.
“Deji Adeyanju or whatever they call you!!!! Can you put respect on Burna Boy’s name.
Why are you even calling Burna Boy’s name?? Smh
You are nothing more than a social media lawyer. Lawyer my a$$$.
Get your facts right before you open your gutter mouth. Control your client.”
Kemi Filani recalls that the drama started when Speed Darlington linked Burnaboy to American rapper P.Diddy who is currently in US custody
Speed Darlington noted how he had taken a photo with P.Diddy some years back, and after that, other Nigerian artists started flying out to meet P.Diddy and take pictures with him. Speed said that shortly after Burna Boy took photos with P.Diddy, he won a Grammy award. Quizzing him, he urged Burna to explain how he became more famous after meeting with P. Diddy.
Following this, Burnaboy filed a petition agis to Darlington for Darlington for alleged cyberstalking. The rapper was taken to Abuja, where the IRT team detained him.
Darlington’s mother alleged that Burna Boy and his team were responsible for her son’s arrest and begged the Grammy singer to release her son.
