Goskey, the manager of Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington, has accused the entertainer of failing to pay his salary for three years, alongside allegations of mistreatment, threats and an unhealthy working environment.
Goskey made the allegations publicly, saying he had remained silent about his alleged experiences while working with the rapper for too long and was now prepared to speak out.
He also claimed that Speed Darlington received ₦30 million from his most recent boxing match against content creator Carter Efe, but gave him only ₦200,000.
“I have stayed silent for far too long, but not anymore. I’m ready to expose everything. Speed Darlington is a very wicked person. In his last fight with Carter Efe, he was paid ₦30 million but gave me only ₦200,000,” Goskey alleged.
The manager further claimed that he endured mistreatment and threats during his time working with the rapper, describing the working relationship as toxic.
However, he did not provide further details in the available account to substantiate the allegations concerning the unpaid salary, alleged threats or the circumstances surrounding the reported boxing payment.
The claims have not been independently verified, and it remains unclear whether Goskey has taken any formal action over the alleged unpaid earnings.
Speed Darlington, whose real name is Darlington Okoye, is known for his controversial public persona, music and social media presence.
His reported boxing match against Carter Efe also attracted attention beyond their entertainment careers, bringing the two personalities together in the growing crossover between Nigerian celebrity culture and influencer boxing.

Speed Darlington’s response to Goskey’s allegations was not available at the time of reporting. The claims therefore remain allegations and have not been established as facts.
