Lawyer to embattled singer Speed Darlington, Stan Alieke, has called on Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy to demonstrate consistency by taking legal action against socialite Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, for alleged defamation.
This follows Cubana Chief Priest’s recent social media trolling of Burna Boy, where he accused the artist of engaging in an illicit relationship with American music executive Diddy to win a Grammy. These claims mirror those made by Speed Darlington, who was arrested after Burna Boy filed a complaint.
In a statement shared on his Instastory, Alieke challenged Burna Boy to address the allegations against Chief Priest with the same vigor. He wrote:
“Your petition claims that the Diddy and baby oil banter has caused ‘irreparable damage to your international reputation and has made you lose a lot of gigs.’
“Another person with more reach and influence has now referenced the same banter. Will you engage the police and arrest him as well? If not, the streets may interpret it as cowardice.”
Alieke emphasized the need for equal application of justice, asserting, “I’m just a lawyer that wants justice to go round.”
The controversy continues to spark debate among fans and the entertainment community over the boundaries of free speech and the role of legal intervention in personal disputes.
