Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington has responded to his former manager, Goskey, following their public fallout over allegations of unpaid salaries, mistreatment and a strained working relationship.
In a video circulating online, the controversial entertainer questioned the need for a personal manager, saying he would rather have someone who attends to his needs than share in his earnings.
Speed Darlington suggested that having a manager could lead to unnecessary spending, insisting that what he wanted was someone who would serve him rather than someone who expected to benefit financially from his career.
“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,” he said.
The rapper also criticised the circumstances under which his former manager assumed the role, questioning his usefulness and ability to afford a car.
“What I want is someone that will be answering me ‘Sir’ from morning till night,” he added.
His comments followed allegations by Goskey that the rapper owed him three years’ worth of salaries and subjected him to mistreatment during their time working together.
Goskey also alleged that Speed Darlington received ₦30 million for his boxing match against Carter Efe but paid him only a fraction of the amount.
Reports surrounding the dispute have cited different figures for the payment Goskey allegedly received, with the latest account putting it at ₦250,000. The claims have not been independently established.
Speed Darlington’s latest remarks add another chapter to the public disagreement, which has brought attention to the financial arrangements and working relationship between the rapper and his former manager.
“You’re us£le$s, if not a fr@ud. I’m sure you can’t afford to buy a car. You used your own hand to make yourself my manager. I don’t need a manager because I don’t want anybody to eat my money. What I need is a house help.”

Neither the allegations of unpaid salaries nor the claims concerning the boxing-match proceeds should be treated as established facts without further evidence or responses from the parties involved.
