US-based Nigerian Hip Hop artiste, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington has stated that the list of the world’s wealthiest individuals hardly ever includes bearded guys.
He said that all millionaires and billionaires in the world do not maintain beards, and he challenged supporters to name a prominent person or a sitting president who does not maintain a clean-shaven appearance.
Speed Darlington made the statement in a trending video as he said that dollar millionaires and African billionaires don’t have facial hair.
The rapper said that since he aspires to one day rank among the richest men, he has no business growing a beard.
He cited Femi Otedola and Aliko Dangote as examples of guys who maintain a clean shave.
The founder of Five Star Group, according to Speed Darlington, is only known among Nigerians and is not among the world’s wealthiest persons.
He said;
“Look around. All the billion dollar men…tell me, which President has beards? From Arab to Latin America, show me one President that has beards? I am talking about countries on the map. Not ‘jabarata’ countries. None! Why? Because beards is associated with dirts.”
