Darlington Okoye, a Nigerian music artist based in the US known as Speed Darlington, recently expressed a contrasting approach to his colleagues by stating that he does not create music for individuals he considers “poor.” This statement was made during a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, where he engaged in discussion alongside actor Nedu, Husband Material, and Diety Cole.
Speed Darlington specifically mentioned his disinterest in utilizing the Audiomack streaming platform, claiming it is primarily used by individuals who lack financial means. He boldly declared, “I do not engage with Audiomack. Audiomack is intended for individuals with limited financial resources. My music is not intended for those who are economically disadvantaged.”
According to Speed Darlington, his music is exclusively targeted at listeners who possess the financial means to access it. He asserts that individuals without financial resources would not be able to enjoy his songs, implying that his work is reserved for those who can afford it.
In essence, Speed Darlington wants to emphasize that his music is tailored to a specific audience and does not cater to individuals he deems as “poor.” He firmly believes that his songs are meant for those who have the financial capability to access and appreciate them, setting a condition of financial status for his listeners.
