Renowned Nigerian artiste Burna Boy has disclosed his new approach to handling critics, just weeks after the controversial arrest of rapper Speed Darlington.
Fans will recall that Speed Darlington had mysteriously disappeared from the public eye, sparking concerns, before it was later revealed that he had been taken into custody. Though details surrounding the arrest remain sketchy, it has stirred widespread discussion online.
Now, Burna Boy has taken to his Instagram page to reveal his plan for dealing with those who criticize him. The Grammy-winning singer hinted at a strategic shift, moving away from traditional confrontations to a more legal route. He expressed frustration over the changing dynamics of the “streets,” emphasizing that old ways of settling disputes are no longer effective.
“The streets ain’t what it used to be. The old rules no longer apply. No more sliding. Just sue your opps to court and take their money,” Burna Boy wrote in his Instagram story.
The artiste’s statement has stirred reactions among fans and observers, who are keenly interpreting it as a warning to his detractors. Burna Boy’s new stance suggests a growing inclination among celebrities to explore legal avenues against trolls and critics, rather than resorting to physical or verbal confrontations.
