Nigerian musician Speed Darlington, popularly known as Akpi, has sparked reactions online after announcing that he is looking for a woman willing to have his child.
The controversial entertainer made the offer in a post shared on his Instagram account. According to the post, he is willing to pay ₦3 million to the woman who agrees to have his baby.
Speed Darlington also outlined how he plans to make the arrangement work. He said he would provide a house and take care of the woman’s feeding during the pregnancy.
The musician further offered ₦1 million once the woman becomes pregnant. He also promised to pay ₦100,000 every month throughout the pregnancy.
The remaining balance, according to the offer, would be paid after the baby is born. The unusual proposal quickly caught the attention of social media users. Many people shared their opinions about the amount and the conditions attached to the offer.
Speed Darlington also appeared to have specific requirements for the woman he wants. In the post, he said he was looking for a woman between the ages of 16 and 26.
He added that he did not want a woman who had given birth before. He also stated that he did not want Igbo women. The musician asked interested women to send their pictures and phone numbers to him.
The post has since generated a mixture of amusement, criticism and curiosity online. While some users joked about the offer, others questioned the idea behind it. One of the comments under the post involved a woman who reportedly suggested that ₦50 million would be a better offer.
Speed Darlington responded by rejecting the suggestion. questioning why he should pay ₦50 million when the amount he had offered already came with other benefits.
He argued that the child would eventually grow up and could move to America with the mother. He also suggested that the mother could benefit financially from the child in the long term. The exchange added another layer to the online discussion surrounding his proposal.
Speed Darlington is no stranger to unusual social media announcements. The musician, who has built a reputation for his outspoken personality and controversial content, often attracts attention with his posts.
However, his latest announcement has raised more serious questions about relationships, childbirth and financial arrangements. The post does not provide details about any formal legal or medical agreement between Speed Darlington and a prospective mother.
For now, the ₦3 million offer remains a proposal shared by the musician on social media. It has, however, given social media users plenty things to discuss.
