Maverick Nigerian singer and rapper Speed Darlington has expressed disappointment over his personal life, saying he is unhappy that he is still unmarried and without children despite approaching 60.
Speaking in a recent video, the singer, popularly known as Akpi, said he expected to have achieved more at this stage of his life and now desires family and fulfilment beyond material accomplishments.
“I am close to 60 with no wife or child. Is this how I am going to live my life? All I have to show is American papers. I want more than American papers out of life.
“I want family, freedom and respect,” he said.
Prompt News reports Speed Darlington stated that at his age, he imagined he would already be settled with a wife and children.
This is not the first time the entertainer has publicly spoken about marriage. A few years ago, he openly announced that he was searching for a wife and listed the qualities he wanted in a partner.
