“Pay $3,000” – Speed Darlington tells Peller following failed link-up with IShowSpeed during visit to Nigeria

Controversial rapper, Speed Darlington has sparked reactions online after responding to claims that TikTok sensation Peller wants to meet him.

This comes just days after Peller attempted to link up with popular American streamer IShowSpeed during his visit to Nigeria for his African tour celebrating his 21st birthday.

However, the meeting never happened, as Peller was reportedly snubbed and bounced by IShowSpeed’s security team, a moment that quickly went viral online.

Reacting to the situation, Speed Darlington released a video making it clear that any meeting with him would not come cheap, boldly declaring himself the original “Speed” before anyone else.

“I heard Peller wants to see me. Let him pay $3,000 and I’ll come. I’m the original Speed before any other,” he said.

He went on to boast about his relevance, insisting that no one should mention his name without being ready to pay for his presence.

The clip has since stirred reactions across social media, with many describing it as cruise, while others accused the controversial singer of always clout chasing.

Reacting online, one user wrote, “Speed Darlington no dey miss content 😂.” Another commented, “$3,000 just to see Speed? This one loud.”
