Controversial Nigerian singer and rapper, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, has expressed deep regret over his personal life, lamenting that he is close to 60 years old with no wife or children.
The renowned rapper, who is also known as ‘Akpi’, made an emotional declaration about his personal life status on his social media platforms in a video clip that went viral.
He revealed his profound dissatisfaction with his accomplishments, stating that foreign citizenship and documentation are no longer enough to satisfy him.
He stated that despite having lived abroad for years, all he has to show for his time there is an American passport.
Reflecting on his situation, Speed Darlington said he desires a family and a more fulfilling life beyond the benefits of living abroad.
“I am close to 60 with no wife or child. Is this how I am going to live my life? All I have to show is American papers.
“I want more than American papers out of life. I want family, freedom and respect,” he said.
The singer’s comments have reignited discussions about his long-standing search for a life partner.
Several years ago, Speed Darlington publicly announced that he was looking for a wife and outlined a specific list of qualifications.
Among his preferences were that she should be dark-skinned, between 18 and 23 years old, at least 5 feet 8 inches tall, weigh less than 150 pounds, and be fluent in both English and Igbo.
Years after making those requirements public, the entertainer has yet to find a wife.
