Speed Darlington — stage name of Darlington Okoye — is a Nigerian rapper and songwriter. Born in the Bronx to musicians Pericoma Okoye and Queen Achakpo, he grew up immersed in performance.

His catalog spans "Akamu," "Cash & Carry," "Ogiriga Owuwa," and "Baby Oil," each blending Afrobeat, pop, and rap. As a Pisces born in 1981, his work carries a creative fluidity common to the sign.

He holds life-path number 8, a numerological indicator of ambition and material navigation.
