”Bearded men no dey too geh money” – Speed Darlington

Controversial Nigerian rapper Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, has expressed his belief that bearded men are seldom wealthy. He argues that beards are commonly associated with poverty, pointing out that none of the billionaires or presidents of influential nations possess facial hair. Speed Darlington made these remarks during a recent Instagram live session with his fans.

According to him: “Bearded men no dey too get money. They are not on the list of dollar millionaires and billionaires. Look around. Tell me, which president has beards.

“Maybe you are not dirty, but globally, facial hair is associated with poverty. Look around, which dollar billionaire has facial hair? Even African billionaires don’t have facial hair.

“[Femi] Otedola and [Aliko] Dangote don’t have facial hair. No American billionaire has facial hair. All the powerful presidents with strong armies don’t have facial hair. So, money and facial hair have no business.”
