Meanwhile…. Speed has stirred reactions online after sharing some unusual conditions for anyone interested in working as his personal assistant or househelp.
In a recent statement, Speed revealed that he is currently looking for someone to take up the role, but made it clear that the person would have to follow some specific rules, particularly when it comes to music and his lifestyle.
According to him, his PA or househelp would not be allowed to play what he described as “long face” music. He also said the person would be expected to correct him whenever he mistakenly dances to such music while they are at a club.
“I’m looking for PA/househelp. you’re not allowed to play any “long face” music, when we go to the club and I mistakenly dance to any “Long face” music, you will tap me to adjust. I’ll feed you once and you’ll sort yourself the rest of the day”
