Controversial musician, Speed Darlington, aka Akpi, has claimed that his recent admittance to rape was a prank.

DAILY POST reported that the rapper during a recent Instagram live session confessed to defiled a 15-year-old girl.

His confession sparked controversy, with many calling for the entertainer’s arrest.

The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency, DSVA, also reacted, revealing that it has forwarded the case to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons for further action.

In a new video shared via his Instagram page, Speed Darlington claimed his rape admittance was a prank, intended to spark controversy.

He claimed that artists like himself, need controversy to make a living.

“This video is for all of you who are ranging because I said I had sexual encounter with a 15-Year-Old. I’m an artiste, we need controversy to eat. If you are not trending, you are not going to get booked for shows. I just dropped a song titled, ‘Village Girl.’ It’s about coitus. I don’t do Christian music. When we release a song like that, we make sexual content to promote it.

“So, that was what I was doing. Don’t give it more light that it is supposed to have. But if any of you is offended, apologies… For intending artists, you have to be controversial. That was what you saw me doing in that video, selling my market. That’s what it is. And I hope you guys understand. Peace!”
