Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington has ignited a viral debate online after making controversial claims about the likelihood of women having girls as their first child if they have never given birth or had an abortion. During a recent live session, the musician asserted that biological and familial patterns suggest a high probability of female firstborns under these conditions. His remarks quickly spread across social media platforms, drawing sharp criticism, humor, and skepticism from users across Nigeria.
Speed Darlington stated, “For a woman that has never given birth or had an ab%rtion before, her first child is likely to be a girl. Even in people’s family, the oldest is a girl.” He further emphasized his point by claiming, “Most females produce females as their first born. 80% of the time it’s always a girl coming first.” The rapper maintained that unless a woman had prior childbirth or abortion experiences, her first child would most likely be female. These statements, delivered in his characteristic bold tone, were met with immediate public reaction.
Social media users responded with a mix of disbelief, sarcasm, and personal anecdotes. One user joked, “So as you be the first child and only child and also a man it means your mama don do abooooortion tire.” Another commented, “So if ur wife give birth to a male child first just know you’re not alone in that room.” A female user challenged the claim directly, stating, “Na lie! In my husband’s family, first born is mostly boy.” Others turned the conversation into satire, with one writing, “Same thing with men wey dey chase everything under skirt, you don observe say na girl dey be their first born.” Another quipped, “Ever since Portable break e head he turn philosopher,” referencing another Nigerian artist in a playful jab.
Despite the entertainment value of the comments, many users pointed out that there is no scientific evidence to support Speed Darlington’s assertions. Medical experts and biology scholars have long maintained that the gender of a child is determined by the combination of X and Y chromosomes from the parents, with no proven link to a woman’s reproductive history before conception. The 80% figure cited by the rapper is not backed by any credible medical study or data.
The debate highlights the growing influence of celebrity opinions on social media, especially in Nigeria, where public figures often shape conversations on topics ranging from health to gender. While Speed Darlington’s comments may have been intended as casual observation or entertainment, they have sparked a broader discussion about the role of misinformation in public discourse. As the conversation continues, it remains to be seen whether the claims will be taken seriously or dismissed as another example of celebrity speculation.
