Online reactions have been triggered by controversial rapper Speed Darlington’s response to rumors that TikTok sensation Peller wants to meet him.

This occurs a few days after Peller made an attempt to connect with well-known American streamer IShowSpeed while he was in Nigeria for his 21st birthday African tour.

But the meeting never took place because IShowSpeed’s security team ignored Peller and bounced him out. This incident swiftly went viral on the internet.

Speed Darlington responded to the situation by releasing a video in which he boldly declared himself the original “Speed” before anyone else and made it clear that any meeting with him would not be cheap.

“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 continued to brag about his importance and insisted that no one should bring up his name unless they were prepared to pay for his attendance.

Since then, the video has sparked responses on social media, with some characterizing it as a cruise and others accusing the controversial singer of constantly pursuing power.

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