In other news… Controversial musician and social media personality Speed Darlington has sparked a new debate online by opening up about his unconventional approach to romance and refusal to practice monogamy.
The 41-year-old entertainer admitted that despite currently being in relationships with multiple women, he has never experienced true love.
Speaking about his current dating life, Darlington revealed his “there’s strength in numbers” approach to relationships. “I’m 41 now, I’ve never been in a relationship, I’m talking to six different girls right now and you can’t be the only one,” he said. He further revealed that previous marriage plans fell apart when he was honest about his desire for multiple partners: “I almost married one person but she left me because I told her I was polygamous at heart”.
After that experience, Darlington shared some controversial advice he received from his brother about how to manage future partners:
“He said I should bring them in and get them pregnant and then I could tell them”.

@William19Prisca suggested a deeper reason, noting, “Going back to his roots. There would be a girl he truly loved…that he couldn’t get and it really broke him, which is why he probably turned into a misOgYni$t…”
@Palermo_seun commented, “At 41, not mature enough to love? I have no inspiration.”
@It_Chioma denounced the idea of hiding one’s intentions, saying, “It’s wrong to impregnate women just to get them pregnant without telling her you are polygamous”.
