Controversial singer Speed Darlington has revealed that his 23-year stay in the United States brought him more harm than good, citing racial bias, arrests, and emotional distress as major factors.
In a recent video, Darlington stated that his experience in the US was isolating and resulted in a trail of criminal records rather than professional success or financial gain.
“I have access to the USA, but I don’t want to be there all the time. America has no favour for me, and I’m not ashamed to say it,” he said.

Darlington attributed his decision to leave the US to feelings of inadequacy and alleged racial marginalisation, citing difficulties interacting with women due to his accent and feeling undervalued as a black man.
He contrasted his experiences in the US with his successes in Nigeria, stating that he built his mansion with earnings from his Nigerian career.
“It is better to be in a forest, climbing trees and be free, than to be in the centre of everything and be caged,” he added.
