Controversial Nigerian rapper, Speed Darlington, has come under heavy criticism over his ‘hunt’ for a 16-year-old girlfriend.
This is coming after the artist via his social media shared a video of sleeping with an eighteen-year-old and bragging about the freedom he enjoys in Nigeria as against the United States of America where he formerly resided.
“I’m doing everything I couldn’t do in the USA in my Fatherland. I’m looking for a girlfriend number 2, 16 to 20 years old. Anyways all these announcements are a waste. I just need to do what I did before; which is Go do a show and spend a week in the village after the show, find somebody to bring her to Lagos,” the rapper wrote on his Instagram page.
Reacting, some Nigerians took to Twitter to outrightly condemn the statements made by the rapper, referring to him as a pedophile.

Another user, @luvlybunnny posted, “Speed Darlington is an idiot and a very big ignoramus. A dirty paedophile because tell me why you’re looking for underaged girls and also excited to be sleeping with an 18 yr old chukwu ju kwa stupid men.”

In Nigeria, the age of sexual consent is 18, although it is much lower in the Northern part of the country where the Penal Code Act is in use.
