Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington has responded to his former manager, Goskey, following their public disagreement over allegations of unpaid salaries, mistreatment and a toxic working environment.

In a video circulating online, the controversial rapper appeared to question the need for a manager, suggesting that he would rather have someone who serves him than share in his earnings.

Speaking about his preference, Speed Darlington said he wanted someone who would address him respectfully and attend to his needs rather than take a share of his money.

“Why I no go use you? You need to be used. You’re very useless, if not a fraud. I’m sure you can’t afford to buy a car. You used your own hand to make yourself my manager. Me wey dey look for who go serve me. What I want is someone that will be answering me ‘Sir’ from morning till night.

“Wetin I wan do with manager? So my money go finish sharp sharp abi? I don’t need a manager because I don’t want anybody to eat my money. What I need is a house help.”
