In other news, controversial rapper, Darlington Okoye popularly known as Speed Darlington has fired back at fellow artiste CDQ, who said he would never work with him even if offered $100 billion.
Naijaonpoint reports that the drama started when CDQ made the remark during an interview on the Echoo Room podcast hosted by Teddy A.
He was asked to name any artiste he would never collaborate with, and he firmly mentioned Speed Darlington, saying no amount of money could make him do it.
Reacting during a live session with his fans, Darlington dismissed the comment and said he does not even know who CDQ is.
He mocked CDQ’s popularity and financial status, questioning his relevance in the music industry.
Darlington went on to say that anyone he does not know is irrelevant to him, and he laughed off the entire issue.
He also suggested that CDQ has likely never had N50 million and should not be taken seriously.
