Showbiz promoter Paulo Okoye has blasted lawyer Deji Adeyanju for associating Burna Boy with Speed Darlington’s most recent arrest.
On social media, Deji had revealed that his client had been taken into custody by police on November 26 in Owerri, the capital of Imo state.
Additionally, he claimed that Burna Boy was to blame for his client’s “harassment.”
Paulo responded by criticising Deji for bringing Burna Boy into the matter and calling the attorney “unprofessional and spreading misinformation.”
The entertainment promoter also insisted that Deji treat his customers with greater responsibility.
“Lawyer Deji or what ever they call you!!!! Can you put respect on Burna Boy’s Name Why are you even mentioning Burna Boy’s name?? Smh You’re nothing more than a social media lawyer! Lawyer my A** Get your facts right before you open your gutter mouth Control your client,” he wrote.
Deji has not responded to Paulo’s remarks.
Darlington was first arrested in October after posting a video making unsubstantiated claims about Burna Boy.
In the video, Darlington alleged that Burna Boy’s success in the international music scene, including his Grammy win for the album ‘Twice As Tall’ (executively produced by Diddy, the US rapper), was due to an alleged sexual relationship between the two.
Darlington was released on bail on October 9 after spending five days in detention.
